Default Change Default Zoom

My mother is visually impaired. I have found macros to insert in Visual Basic Editor to change the default zoom for Word docs and Excel workbooks. Is there any way to do this in Outlook?

It would probably make it easier for us to help you if you pointed us to the macros you already found.

Hi,

Your mother can use the "mouse wheel" to instantly increase or decrease the font size in an Outlook window. However you cannot make the change permanent and the font always goes back to normal.

There is macro code at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...4-3354551444ae.

Finally, there's a $5 add-in on (ahem) my own site, at http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outloo...il-Windows.asp. It makes the zoom factor permanent unlike scrolling the mouse wheel.

Hope this helps your mother!
