Large Fonts in Outlook 2003
in [General]
|
From: dieterdane on 26 Feb 2010 18:21 I know this is an old subject, but I am having this problem with the large fonts. Just started today. Word is the program that my Outlook uses and I changed the zoom from 100% to 75% and then smaller with out any change in the font size. Let me tell you what happened today. Today was the third time that the "scroll" went up and down without me doing anything. I was rebooting and closing programs to try to get it to stop scrolling. I scanned my computer for viruses to make that was not causing it. So when I was in Outlook and clicked on reply and was trying to type a response the email was scroling up and down out of control I then clicked on ctrl + z to try to undo what I had typed and all of a sudden my fonts got real big. I tried to reduce them without success so I just closed outlook. I reopened outlook and try replying and the fonts are real large all the time now. The original email is the correct font size. When I click on "new" it still give me real large fonts. I have tried everything I know to try without sucess. Can anyone help me please???

Outlook 2003: In any "New Message" window click on View -> Zoom. Set to 100%. It's there somewhere in the menus of this form if you can't find it easily. office.microsoft.com is down for me at the moment so I can't check my references. Outlook 2007: In any "New Message" window type some text, click on the "Format Text" ribbon, then click on Zoom. Set to 100% Another way is to hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to adjust the zoom setting. That's probably what caused this for you in the first place. When you hit the Ctrl key to hit Ctrl-Z while your screen was scrolling uncontrollably, your mouse was in the scroll wheel mode and thus triggered the zoom-in shortcut. These steps will resolve your problem. -- Leonid S.

From: dieterdane on 27 Feb 2010 12:30 Oh, bless you!! I was not going into the "new message" to do it and that is why it was not working for me. Yes, it was set at 200%. Now it is fixed. Thank you so much. Now if I could get my printer fixed so it will print from my computer. Sigh Peggy "Leonid S.

Download its drivers from the manufacturer's website, unplug the printer, install the drivers, plugin the printer when instructed. Done. Go to control panel -> printers and choose the new printer as the default printer. -- Leonid S.

It is strange because it stopped working printing from the computer and I don't why. The printer has been hooked up with a wireless network for a few years. And all of a sudden it will not print from my computer or the laptop. I was troubleshooting it and some how it started working again just for a few days. Then it stopped again. It seems to have a mind of its own. It copies and faxes ok, but won't print from the computers. My husband set the wireless up and now we are separated. I asked him what the network name is and he doesn't remember. I asked him that because the setup asked for it. I have unplugged everything, I have tried reloading the software, I have repeatedly rebooted the computers and it still won't print from the computers. I am willing to call you or your friend to help me get it running if needed. I will pay you or your friend for help in finding out why it keeps doing this. Thanks, Peggy "Leonid S.
