Thursday, February 01, 2007

So, our Action Pack came this week, and I installed Office 2007.  I'm loving the sleek new ribbon UI goodness, but one thing was bugging me in Outlook 2007's email editor.  When composing a new email, the font size looked way too big.  It was set to Tahoma 10, and when I sent the message, it looked fine.  Not a huge problem, but I want WYSIWYG!  I Googled, but apparently I'm the only one picky enough to care.

It turns out it's zoomed to 200% by default, but the zoom tool isn't there!  To fix:

Outlook -> New -> RT Click top of ribbon -> Customize Quick Access -> Customize -> All Commands -> Zoom -> Add

The zoom button should appear in the top left. Then click inside the message, click the zoom button, and choose 100%.

Seems like this could be a problem if users crank their font down when composing, and send tinsy little hard-to-read emails.
