Display font sizes in Outlook

[.ep]

Hi

I want to customize the look of the Outlook interface. (Outlook 2003,
version 11.6359, with SP1).

Basically, I want the menus and the toolbars on the top, and the names
of my folders and subfolders on the left hand pane, to inherit the font
size and font type from my Windows XP theme.

But it seems Outlook insists on having Tahoma in an ugly size.

Where/how can I manage the font size of the interface?

Your toolbar and menus should inherit the font type from your Windows
theme.

The folder names and preview pane will not inherit your font
preferences. Unfortunately, this is the way Outlook XP is built. For
preview pane, you can individually "Customize Current View".

Any ideas to make my preview pane fonts inherit some default settings?
I cannot go and customize view of all my 80 folders and subfolders.

the fonts are set in tools, options, mail format and apply globally. HTML
font size is on a menu and also applies globally.

Thanks, but I am not talking about the fonts in the email.

I am talking about the *interface* font sizes in Outlook, e.g., the
font used for displaying the names of folders in the "Navigation Pane",
or the size of the subjects of emails shown in the listing of all
emails, etc.

there isn't an option to change them - it's controlled to some degree by the
windows theme settings and by your monitor resolution.

BTW - you can change the fonts in the folder list (middle section) - it's an
automatic formatting view. The folders names can't be (easily) changed.

If you need help creating or editing a view, see
