Outlook - suddenly have tiny font

J

Hi


I started having a weird problem with Outlook. Text looks extremely small
and is not viewable at 100%. The only way to be able to read Arial 10 for
example is by zooming in dramatically. It does this only when
editing/replying/writing, not when viewing received messages. Tried
recreating the normal.dot but it didn't solve it

Version of Outlook?

When you say you are at 100% - is this just guessing or do you see a zoom
setting of 100% somewhere? The problem is usually because zoom is not at
100%.

Sorry - just mean that it is not readable. Nothing has changed in the user
settings - the font says it is 10 and ariel - it is just that you can't read
it because it is so small.
