change the interface's font size

Hi,

I have a trouble reading the small font size text in my outlook in Vista.
Can I make the font size bigger? I can go to main-menu -> view ->
arrange-by -> custom -> other-setting -> column-font to change the font size
for the current view (e.g. inbox). However, what I need is to make all the
text in Inbox propotionally bigger? Is it possible?

In XP, I can go to Desktop -> Display-properties -> Settings -> Advanced ->
General -> DPI settings and set large size. I don't find it in Vista.
Besides, I just want to change font size for Inbox unless changing DPI
setting is the only way.

Could anybody advise me? Thanks for any help.

Have you thought about getting reading glasses? Do not let the optician
sell you bi-focals or varifocals; explain that you want fixed focus lenses
to allow you to see clearly at the distance you have your computer screen.

Actually, you may want "progressive" lens - but you want them designed for
the computer screen focal point, not eternity. Ask for Computer glasses and
any good optician should get it right. (My last computer glasses were
progressives and I'm very happy with them - they do better than the fixed
focus lens I had before.)
