Re: Folder text size change

What specifically are you trying to change? The message text?

What folder text do you mean?

Re: Folder text size change

No the folder listing text. I found how to do what I wanted-it's the
settings in the "appearance" box under advanced. I needed to increase the
size of the text windows ( active text etc.) and changed the font and it's
size to be a little larger. It's been a long time since I set up XP and it
took a while to remember where the settings were.
Thanks,
Bob

Re: Folder text size change

Right click on the desktop. Select personalize, window and color appearance,
open classic appearance properties for more color options, appearance
settings then advanced. Then you can adjust all kinds of window parameters,
font styles, color and sizes for various things like "message text".

Re: Folder text size change

Okay, makes sense now.
For a second I thought you were seeing some hidden
options in Windows Mail.

Re: Folder text size change

It used to be the icon font. I don't know if its the same in Vista. Try
that.
