    I have Outlook email. I hit a couple of keys (control and possibly alt and something else) and all of a sudden all my emails are displaying in very small type. I have no idea what I did. I've searched around for a remedy but haven't had any luck. Would be extremely grateful for any tip on how to get the default size back.It's worth noting that the fonts themselves have not changed size, but the way the fonts are displayed.

    Contact MS Office Support or go to their site and check their FAQ. Searched you should've found something I find this odd.

    Thanks for the reply. I went there and checked FAQ's, and found what I needed to change the settings back (zoom settings). I still have no foggy idea of what strange combination of keystrokes altered it, but I'm glad to have the larger fonts back.

    Wow! What useful advice you give as usual! :rolleyes: Telling him to contact support and check FAQ for a simple keyboard shortcut that is universal across all web browsers? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    @gmm22

    If you ever run through this situation again. Simply press CTRL + 0 on your keyboard which is the shortcut key to get you back into default zoom view.

    On a side note, CTRL + is to zoom in and CTRL - is to zoom out.
