Hello,

How do you change the font and its size in the left folder list in Outlook
2003.

I tried the fix I found on the Microsoft site by going to display ->
appearence -> Advanced and then select icon and change the font and size
there but that did not help. It looks like it works with Outlook 2000 but I'm
on 2003.

Anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

That is controlled by windows settings - note that any change you make will
affect other applications. You can either change the monitor DPI or the
windows theme.

That is not the case here, as I said in my post, I tried the windows settings
with no luck
I'm running Windows XP SP3 with Outlook 2003.
Windows settings has no effect on the folder list pane in outlook.
The DPI settings are still on default.

It is just that the folder list pane, changed font on its own, it is now
larger than it was before.
