| | How to change permanently the "Text Size" under "View"? Hello, Under the path > WM > View > Text Size, I can select four (4) different sizes from its default setting "Medium". Now, that works "just fine"...but ONLY while a session of WM remains active! Indeed, as soon as WM is being shut down and relaunched, this previously altered setting (eg. to "Larger") will have reverted back to its initial default (ie. in my case it's "Medium")! So can someone kindly advise me now how I could alter this specific setting to...permanent? Thanks very much in advance for your valid support... With best regards, Phil |

| | Re: How to change permanently the "Text Size" under "View"? Thank you Gary, but I already tried "this"...before posting. On this specific setting I can actually change it permanently from Medium to Larger...but no "viewable" effect. Hmm, so could it be due to my download of...IE8 Beta?

| | Re: How to change permanently the "Text Size" under "View"? Yes, the IE8 beta blocks font selection in Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and OE.

| | Re: How to change permanently the "Text Size" under "View"? Hmm, but not "everywhere"...at least NOT in my case: Indeed, under Tools > Options > Compose I can "very well" alter permanently the font and size and it shows up "accordingly" upon creating a new mail; okay.

| | Re: How to change permanently the "Text Size" under "View"? Well, you're luckier than others who tried the IE8 beta. It stopped all email font selection for me. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Phil [Switzerland]" <borel@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uN7z97OxIHA.2068@xxxxxx Quote: > Hmm, but not "everywhere"...at least NOT in my case: > Indeed, under Tools > Options > Compose I can "very well" > alter permanently the font and size and it shows up "accordingly" > upon creating a new mail; okay. > Phil Quote: >> > news:eRMpqrOxIHA.1768@xxxxxx > Yes, the IE8 beta blocks font selection in Windows Mail, > Windows Live Mail, and OE.
