Hello, I have increased message text and folder text, and the tool bar is now fine. But when I open a box such as View > View Settings the text on the buttons and descriptions is tiny. I know how to use the magnifier, but why should I have to dig it out. Your program should use the same settings for ALL text. When I increase the text size slider in Settings > Accessibility from 130% to 150% then ONLY text that increases is the title of the view settings box mentioned.

Accessibility text size of 130%:

Text Size 130% in accessibility

But when I increase it to 150% the only thing that gets bigger is "Advanced View Settings: Single"

User's image

Note that the actual text size of the buttons is the same in both (and MUCH larger in these images than it is on my computer BTW.)

I have seen other Outlook pop up settings boxes with this same issue.

    Hi @Sue
    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    I've tried many methods, but I still haven't found a solution for you. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience. There is no setting related to changing the default popup size in New Outlook.  If you believe this change is essential, we kindly encourage you to submit your feedback to Microsoft through the Ideas · Community. User feedback can occasionally influence future updates and feature enhancements.
