Increase size of copy in Entourage Window

[Lisa]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Email Client: pop

Is there any way to increase the size of the copy in the Entourage display on the screen. When I maximize the display it makes it take up the whole screen...yet the typeface on the folders, emails,etc. remains the same size. I'd like the content within the screen to enlarge. See less on the screen, but bigger. Is this possible?

Partly, you can select Preferences --> Fonts --> List View to change list
font sizes. There is no way to make the fonts size to the window size. I
don't know any application that does that.

The easiest thing to control is the message font size and type in plain text
messages. I generally toggle HTML off for most messages as everyone that
sends HTML must have really good eyesight because they are too small for me
to read.

Diane,

This is how I have my HTML set up in E2004: Arial 14. I found that when my
default font was smaller than 14pt., other users complained it was too
small. At 14 the complaints stopped (except from JR :-> ).

I would be interested in knowing if you still find it too small.

Yes!!! Notice I changed it to plain text so I could read it.

See my screen shots of what you sent as to what I like to see. Your choice
is much better than the default of size 11, but it¹s still a bit too small
for me.

Thanks for considering your choice of font size and what it looks like for
your receiver.

Diane,

Thanks for taking the time to show me what the two versions look like. To my
eyes, the Arial and the Courier seem to be nearly the same HEIGHT, but the
Courier is wider, mostly because it's non-proportional.

FWIW, this is Arial 18.

This is Arial 16.

I should have specified that my default font is Consolas 12. Consolas is one
of the new 08 fonts. I find it very nice on the eyes for plain text.

Compare Consolas to Courier <-- this is Consolas

Here are examples that will probably not make much sense to the Mactopia
users since it strips out HTML. If you want to see it them, subscribe to the
