Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had tried finding this in help, but had spent half an hour to 45 min. with no luck in coming up with it….

I want to change all fonts; folders, mail, everything! The ruler is on display properties under settings where you can set a font size. I changed the ruler here to 74% which lets an inch actually display as an inch long. It had been set to large fonts, which came up at 125% which gave me a ruler whose inch equalled about an inch and a half. Because of this I have been running Word docs at 75% just to see the entire page width, and also to get an idea of actual size something will be when I make signs, etc. Unfortunately this has made all my fonts show up at 74%, which is unreadable in the default 8 pt. Tahoma. I want everything to be 12 pt. CG Omega in Outlook. While I can change individual views, I am having to do it for each folder, and then for each type of view in that folder. With define views you have to change fonts in 7 places per folder, and it each of those 7, 3 times in other settings and a minimum of 5 in automatic formatting. Multiply this by 20 or so folders and it is going to take hours to do!

I want to just tell outlook to use a different default than 8pt. to begin with.

I just saw your message in trying to fix my fonts in outlook and I have one idea on how this may have happened in the first place. On my compter if I change the font size for my desktop in my screen settings it affects outlook. It seems to be attached to the icon font size, however I also did it just recently by changing a ruler to display inches correctly, which fixed a problem in Word, but has really played havoc with my Outlook fonts!

Okay, the computer gods are smiling on me today — I downloaded a bunch of updates from Windows so I would have the latest patches, ran scan which came up “okay,” got to thinking about trying to kill out a program called twofer, which puts up side by side explorer screens (unmaximized and they where working fine), since I hardly ever use it, and also got to thinking of trying to reinstall explorer off our network. In the process of trying to find explorer on the network, I instead managed, rather accidently, to reinstall twofer instead. And low and behold, explorer is suddenly okay!

only explorer, nothing else

I tried starting it from the run box, and that made no difference.

The keyboard assignment with numlock off places “delete” in the box, and underneath says “currently assigned to: editclear”

Here is what I typed:

…………………………………. .456.456.

Here is what Word thinks I typed:

……………….. 456456

And here is what the macro recorded:

Sub TEST()

Selection.TypeText Text:=”……………….. 456456″
End Sub

I don’t think this got us anywhere, but it was a good try…

well…and now you have it twice….

oops…. forgot to attach it before I posted….

oops…. forgot to attach it before I posted….

When I first posted it, I tried opening it to see if it was really there, and instead of opening it in Word, it tried to open it as (I think) an HTML file. I know I got a line of gibberish, followed by a lot of black space….

I will try attaching it again and we’ll see if your machine likes this one better.

I don’t know why this is happening, however when I first posted the attachment, it did the same thing. Today I can open it. ??!!!??!!?

Maybe due to a web problem, rather than the document itself?

Yes — I even went back and checked to make sure. Ack!

Oops — spoke to soon…. If it is the first thing I type in a cell, I get the decimal point on the first linte, but if I type anything ahead of it, I don’t get it until the second push. It beeps on the first if that is any help.

The WordPerfect options fixed it! — I think I may have turned them on myself, as when I started with this computer I was far more familiar with WP than with Word.

You are a God! Happy Happy, Joy joy!
