Entourage uses two different font settings when you print an e-mail message.
There's the header section, which contains some metadata, such as the date
when the e-mail was sent, the sender and recipient's e-mail addresses and so
on. Then there's the body, the actually message. You can quite easily
specify what font you want to use for the message body: in
Entourage>Preferences, General Preferences, Font, there's a dropdown list
next to "Printed items", where you can choose a font that you think is
appropriate. The header section uses a different font setting, as I've
already said, namely the font family and size specified in that same section
of the preferences under "HTML messages (proportional)". In other words, you
can change the appearance of the header on the printout, but doing so will
also influence how Entourage displays HTML messages onscreen. You can either
switch to a different font family/size every time you want to print a
message, or leave the HTML setting the way it is, which means using a larger
font for printouts as well.
I'm a new user of Entourage, and a new user of Macs. When I print email
messages in Entourage, the type seems much larger than I'm used to in
Windoze and, frankly, much larger than I'd like. Is there any way to reduce
the type size when printing Entourage email messages?
