Answer 1

Hello

Can you please provide more information -

Are you doing it on the web www.outlook.com, or using mail app like Outlook Classic?

Is this on Windows 11, or MacOS?

Answer 2

If your Outlook messages are appearing extremely small and unreadable, it may be related to the font settings or display settings in Outlook. Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain specific troubleshooting steps for adjusting font sizes in Outlook when composing messages.

However, you can try the following general steps to change the font size in Outlook:

1. Change Default Font Settings: Go to the Outlook options and look for the Mail section. Under the Compose messages area, you should find options to change the font settings.
2. Zoom Settings: While composing a message, check if there is a zoom option in the ribbon or status bar that allows you to increase the size of the text.
3. Display Settings: Check your computer's display settings to ensure that the scaling is set appropriately for your screen resolution. Sometimes, high DPI settings can affect how text is displayed in applications.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking for updates or reinstalling Outlook to ensure you have the latest version and settings.
