Thank you, works a treat. It seemed to have defaulted back to 10%
Cheers, Jim

After the last auto update a few weeks ago my Outlook 2007 started
displaying
the body text as small as dots when composing new or forwarded emails and
comments in calendar items. In order to read them I must select and
increase
font size to at least 72, and then return it to 11 (unrecognisable) before
I
send. When these emails are received they appear normal size (unless I
forget
to set it back to 11 from 72 !!) Messages in my inbox appear normal.
I thought I would wait for a quick fix as I was certain the problem was
not
mine alone, but so far nothing.
I have just today gone into Tools, Options, Mail Format, Stationary &
Fonts, and set the font for New Mail Messages and for Replying or
Forwarding
Messages to Calibr1 Regular 11. Nothing changed.
Help!!!
