Change Font Size Of Address Line?
Hello All,
Just got a new Sony laptop with a small screen. Everything is great but I had to change to large fonts so it would be easier on the eyes. Now, in outlook I was able to change the font size of my inbox and the body of messages. I can't figure out how to change the font size of the address bar where I type in the e-mail addresses. Is there a way to increase the size? Thanks

Oh and this is Outlook 2003.
Hello fv858,
there is one way and that is by designing your own mail form based on the current mail form
1. open a new empty mail message
2. choose tools
3. then Forms
4. next Design this Form
5. now you can design a form with your own custom fonts and sizes
6. when you're done choose the icon with the blue triangle that says publish this form
7. save it in the personal forms library with a name like myForm, it will display a message about sending it to others but since this is for your own use you can say no
8. next close and save changes
9. now back in outlook choose a new mail message | again goto tools | forms | chose form
10. in the dropdown that says look in, choose personal forms
11. click on the myForm template and you have your own formatted template mail message
this is more advanced

Bruintje's method will work well.
I'm assuming a lower screen resolution and adjusting the default windows fonts have been experimented with. ;)

I will try Bruintje's way in a few. But yes I have changed resolution and that work ok but then it gets a little distorted. I have everything where we want it except for the Address Line.
ASKER
Is there a way to make the myForm the default so it uses that every time i hit new message?
ASKER
Also is there a way to change the font when reading an e-mail i received. I can change the size of the fonts in the body but not the To: or Subject Lines.

Go to the menu bar and select View > Format Columns. Check if there is a view that you can increase the font size. Otherwise, there is no way to change font size of Address Bar. Sorry!
Best wishes!
