I have no idea how I did this, but when I start a new e-mail in Outlook, it comes up with the teeniest micro-font imaginable. The «To» and «Subject» fields are normal, but when I start typing the message, it’s in something like 0.05 or something - just teeny little unreadable dots.
It’s working bough, because I sent a test message to my self and it was perfectly legible when it arrived.
How do I change the display back to normal??

I’ve had this happen to me before.
The fix for me was ctrl+mousewheel to change the zoom level back to 100% (it had somehow become zoomed out) while composing a new message.

Thanks. Found I could also do it by the zoom feature. Wasn’t a font issue, but a display issue.
