How do I change default font size of Outlook Express?

Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP Pro.  My compose font is defined as Verdana 10 pt.  But when I compose a message now the text is 12 AND all attempts to change it to 10 in the wee top box have no effect - it boils down to 12.  And this applies to each of several alternative fonts (Verdana, Ariel,...) I tried.  I don't have this problem in the past.  Something changed - any ideas on how to fix?

Certainly, reboot and see if something might get fixed by that.  Otherwise, you can go to file | Identities and establish a new identity.  This will give you a basis of costs of messages and fresh registry hive (where settings are stored for the most part) and that could fix the problem if its related to a kind of corruption of the registry.  It certainly won't hurt to try.  If it works, then you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.  You can also see what other programs are running.  It could be some kind of other program interfering.

    Tim has manipulated the colorful side of the tab of this Q.

    If you ask about the text than the tabs labels, they are all the same.

    If you really want and can settle their definition at run time, you can use

    You can not, certainly not with the reader. Even the full version of Acrobat cannot do this directly. PDF files should never be edited in a way.

  • How can I change the font size of what I discovered in Firefox?

    I would like to view all content in Firefox in a smaller font size. How to achieve this? Thank you!

    Hello
    Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? This initiative will increase the size of the web pages.

    • To make things bigger, press Ctrl and + at the same time.
    • To make things smaller, press Ctrl and - at the same time.
    • Pour reinitialiser to reset the size of return to normal, press Ctrl and 0 at the same time.

    You can also use the NoSquint. Add on to change the zoom level by default for all websites at the same time. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.

    With the help of NoSquint:

    1. After installation of NoSquint, make sure you have the add-on bar displayed:

      • Click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.
    2. Click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.
      • You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but it is not recommended that you will more than 150%, unless you have a large screen high resolution.

    If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.

    Please let us know if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • How to permanantly change default font when composing in windows mail

    I want to permanantly change the default font from Arial to Times New Roman. I can't find instructions on how to do it. I know how to compose a single message, but I want to change it permanantly. Is it still possible?

    Keep in the default font of mind changes in Windows Mail only will be not honored if you have installed IE 9.  You would have to do the default font in IE TNR for it to stick.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#15 if you do not have IE 9 installed, then you can go to tools | Options | Read | Fonts and the font of reading by default there set.
