Changing default View in Outlook and Word 2007
I have changed the font settings in OUtlook, tool - mail format, stationary.... And there is no change when I open outlook to view (reading pain or when I open an email) still on the default font. Checked that settings were saved, restarted outlook. No change.
Basically I want to enlarge (zoom) outlook and word default views. One of our users has a vision problem and I need to enlarge everything as a default. Thanks,

Aquadeep - but this does not change the view for documents I need to open. I want all doc';s to reflect this change - even those already saved. They should open with a larger font.
Is there a way to set the Zoom to 140% for Outlook and Word - maybe that will do the trick.

To change the default zoom in word 2007, you would need to edit the "Normal.dotm" file.
Here's how to do it:
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Open.
Click on "Trusted Templates"
double click on "Normal.Dotm" file to open it in Word
You should now be in the Normal.dotm file.
Go to the View tab
Click on Zoom
increase the Percent box to 140
click OK and exit out of word
The next time you open word it should default to 140% zoom

dj0rbit - when I open word and select open, I dont have a Trusted Templates option anywhere. I have templates, but it is blank.
If no templates are listed in the Open dialog box,
click the arrow next to the "Files of type" box, and then click All Word Templates.
It should appear once you change the field
hope that helps

Found it. And saved it to 150 and it opens at that zoom. But it does not open at the zoom level for existing docs.
just to clarify I am trying to zoom all EMAILS in Outlook and all Word Docs, new and existing. this user cannot see well and all docs they open on their machine need to be zoomed at 150%.

By chance does anyone know if XP has a DPI scale similar to vista/7
yes, it has DPI scale, and you try to change it, throught the GPO
