SUDDEN SMALL TEXT ON OUTLOOK

Question

While composing an email the text shrank to be incredibly small. How do i restore to normal size

Answer 1

If the text in your Outlook email has suddenly shrunk, you can try the following steps to restore it to a normal size:

1. Zoom Settings: Check if the zoom level has been changed. You can adjust the zoom level by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling your mouse wheel up to increase the text size or down to decrease it. Alternatively, you can find the zoom slider in the bottom right corner of the Outlook window.
2. Font Size: While composing your email, highlight the text that appears small, then go to the "Format Text" tab in the ribbon. From there, you can select a larger font size from the font size dropdown menu.
3. Default Font Settings: If the issue persists, you might want to check your default font settings. Go to "File" > "Options" > "Mail" > "Stationery and Fonts" and ensure that the default font size is set to your preference.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider restarting Outlook or checking for any updates that might address display issues.
