small text bug in outlook 2003

R

~RC~

I have a small text problem. When I compose a new email my text is so small
that I can't even read it. Most of my text tools are grayed out also. In
plain text or HTML, it doesn't matter which. This is how bad it is....

The text is so small that if I copy and past the text from outlook to word,
I have to blow the text up well past 150 percent just to read it....

My compose box says that the text is set to 12....

I have no idea what the hell is going on here. I just recently installed
McAfee SpamKiller. Could this be the problem???? It started some time after I
installed but it's the only thing I have left besides a corrupted reg
setting....

Thanks a bunch in advance....

~RC~
P.S. I don't have this problem in Word....

If you are using Word as the email editor, change your zoom settings to
100%.

Thank You Milly.

My zoom was set to 200%.
I moved it to a 100 and everything is now fine....
Why it was so small at 200, I have no idea.
Why it was changed I have no idea but you rock.
Again, many many thanks.

Sincerely,
~RC~

Enable the "Standard" toolbar.

I have this same problem, except I HAVE enabled the Standard toolbar, and
there's still no zoom box. I tried customizing it, and there isn't even a
"Zoom" option. I have Outlook 2003 and Word 2003. In Word, the Zoom box is
there and is set to 100%, and everything looks fine there. I am completely
baffled by this. Any ideas?
