Outlook

How do I stop Outlook from enlarging everything in the compose window? When you start to write a new email a window pops up for you to input the email address, subject line and content of the email. Your signature is there. 

It is displayed with the text size bigger than it should be.  If you send an email to yourself, open it when it arrives and then open another new email  put them side by side the new one displays bigger than the received one. 

Outlook does this on both mine and my partner's work laptops - different employers. 

I'd like to turn this feature off and type it with it displaying at the right size.

Can you also confirm it does this on your computers too?

Does no one here use Outlook, that you have not commented to say if yours does the same?

If you have "work laptops" do you not have "work IT Support"?

Could just be the text zoom levels, hold ctrl and move the scroll wheel on the mouse to change zoom level.

Wouldn't that change the zoom level on everything? Not just the compose window?  I'll try it and report back.

I've just tried it on my work laptop ... I opened a new email and used Ctrl+mousewheel to zoom in then closed the new email without saving; when I opened another new email the zoom setting was retained. I set the zoom back to 100% and all was normal.

Note: zooming did not affect the main Outlook window, just the new email window.

Thank you, this did the trick.
