Question

Using Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus. In Outlook how do you change the font in the Email send: From, To, and CC. I changed the font in options but these 3 remain super small. Thanks.

Answer 1

To change the font in the Email send fields (From, To, CC) in Outlook, you typically need to adjust the settings in the Outlook options. However, it's important to note that the font settings for these fields may not always be customizable through the standard font options in Outlook. If you have already changed the font in the options but the fields remain small, it might be due to the default settings of the application or limitations in the customization options for those specific fields.

If the font size is still an issue, consider checking for any updates to Outlook or your Office suite, as sometimes updates can resolve display issues. Additionally, you may want to explore accessibility options in Windows that can affect font sizes across applications.

For further assistance, you might want to consult the official Microsoft support documentation or community forums for specific guidance related to your version of Outlook.

Answer 2

Hi Al Olsen, I understand how annoying it is when something as basic as font size makes your emails look off it feels like you’ve tried everything and still can’t get those fields readable.

To fix the small font in Outlook’s From and To and CC field, increase Windows display scaling to 125-150% enable high DPI scaling override for OUTLOOK.EXE under Compatibility settings add or edit the HeaderFontSize registry key to a larger value example 14 and use Ctrl+mouse scroll in the compose window to zoom and save your preference.

hen you compose a new email does the small font issue appear only in the From/To/CC fields or does it also affect other parts of the interface like the subject line or message header?
