    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

    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.

    I searched all over the Web and i was disappointed about changing font in Outlook (Office 2007) but now i finally found this Nice helpful Topic.

    it is exactly that i was looking for.

    i think changing the pane by customizing view that dear hvaldez and FightingScallion mentioned.

    about that bad news can not changing Navigation Bar default font i am searching too and i hope we do it at least by a trick in Regedit.

    anyway a Big Thanks from Iran.

    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!

    I confirm that the previous post is correct. However either custom or classic appearance works. MENU is the choice to modify in order to change the font of Outlook 2007's Navigation bar (including the folders List).

    Thanks...
