Is it possible to change the recipients / cc. / bcc.. font size in new mail ?
I can't read the email addresses I'm sending to as they are so small.


All the information to change the font size on the web changes the message body font size quite easily but not the recipients email address font.


any ideas ?


oh, I'm using Outlook 2010...I think !

    Hmm.

    I'm not sure this is possible, many programs, including Outlook use system settings for some things. Changing that font size may well affect other things on the computer that you don't want to change.

    There are a couple of things to try.

    Click into the box as if to type then hold down the CTRL key and use the mouse wheel to increase/decrease the text size.

    Go into Control Panel-> Display Properties-> tab Appearance button Advanced->
    from the dropdown list select Message Box and change its properties

    As I said the above may not work but it's worth a try.

    Also you could use the built in magnifier to make it readable.
