OL 2007 Mail format switched

Post by BobL »

Using Outlook 2007 with the HTML outgoing mail set. Image below shows my problem. While typing an email last night the style - format - whatever switched to this UN-godly small font with an unusually wide page setting.
Question is: how do I revert it back to something normal?
Search for normal.dot on my laptop and no go, but I did find a normal.dotm.
And I thought I knew Outlook... <sigh>.
Thanks for any ideas.

It looks like the zoom has been set to less than 100%.
Click in the body of the e-mail.
Activate the Format Text tab of the ribbon.
Click Zoom.
Select 100%, then click OK.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you Hans, I don't know how you do this, but you are spot on.
Your fix worked and I now have a slightly deeper understanding of Outlook.

You probably set the zoom level accidentally by holding the control key while you moved the scroll wheel on your mouse.

Very possible Stuart, thanks for that point - I've been :scratch: trying to figure out how I did that.
