Text Size for opened emails - Outlook 2003

[loren]

I have a new 22" monitor set @ 1680 x 1050 resolution for photo/video
editing, but that makes email text too small for me to view easily.
Firerfox will open to large text, as it remembers text size last used.

Outlook 2003 also allows me to change the current view text size for columns
and rows. But when I open any email, the text is still small and the only way
to enlarge it is by clicking on: view text size larger.

The problem is that I cannot set this as a default. It requires 3
mouse-clicks for every individual email. Isn't there a way to set a default
text size for opened emails?

Do you have a scroll wheel mouse? Try this - click once in the message body and then use the scroll wheel to adjust the text.

I just tried that with the email notification I received for your reply and
it didn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion. :-/

Try holding down the CTRL key while you scroll.

Thanks for your suggestion. Just tried that... Didn't work. I'm using a 5
yr old Dell mouse.. Maybe it's time for a new one.
