Font Settings in Outlook 2007 navigation pane

I have been looking everywhere how to change the font size and type for my outlook 2007 navigation pane
I was able to do it with each current view in the MAIN frame (Inbox message list, etc..) but not with the navigation pane, or the to do bar, some one has an idea on how to do it?

How'd you do it in the Main frame? I can't even figure that out.

I'll keep working on this, but the how you did it there might give me an idea.

For the main frame go to:
View, Current View, Customize Current View, Other Settings,
then select the font you want for: Column, Row, and Autopreview
You will see you only changed the font for the CURRENT VIEW in the MAIN Panel. If you change the View, or the Folder (Inbox, Outbox, etc...) you will need to repear the same procedure, i have not found any GENERAL Font Settings to fix all views
Let me know when you find out about the navigation pane, or to do bar
thanks

Re: Font Settings in Outlook 2007 navigation pane

Hmm...well, I found something. All I've done successfully so far is change the size of the font of the calendar in the "To Do" bar, but I'll keep plugging away.

To do that:
1) Click "Tools"
2) Select "Options"
3) Choose the "Other" tab
4) Click "Advanced Options"
5) Click "Font" next to "Date Navigator"

Not sure how helpful that is, but it's a start at least.

Good news: I can help you with the "To Do" bar:
1) Right click on the top of the bar (where it says "Arranged By...").
2) Click "Custom"
3) Click "Other Settings"
4) Adjusting this is the same as Main Pane.

Bad news. The Navigation Pane cannot be changed (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...322031033.aspx).

I hope that helps.

Re: Font Settings in Outlook 2007 navigation pane

What's up Vista Forum! I am new to the forum so I wanted to start by sharing. I have found a work around to increasing and changing the font of the navigation pane in Outlook 2007. Follow these steps:

1) go to your personalization settings (control panel-->Appearance and Personalization--->Personalization

2) Click on "Window Color and Appearance"

3) Click "Open Classic appearance properties for more color options"

4) Click "Advanced"

5) Under the Item dropdown, click Menu

6) Change the font and font size to your liking

Unfortunately, even if you change the color, it will not be effective in outlook.

Hope this helps!
