Are you viewing it in the Reading Pane or are you actually opening the mail?
Try viewing in the Reading Pane and change the Zoom setting there to see if
it persists for mail that has been opened.

After furious head scratching, Gene L. asked:

| On the 23rd of this month, I submitted the following request for help:
|
|
|
| "When I open mail using Office Outlook 2007, the type is often too
| small for me to read comfortably so I need to "zoom" it up. This
| works fine for the particular mail message I have opened but as soon
| as I open the next message, the screen reverts to its prior setting
| so It is necessary to zoom it up again.
|
| Is there a way to retain the zoom setting for all messages being
| opened?
|
| Many thanks,"
|
| Am I addressing the wrong newsgroup here or is the matter more
| complicated than it appears?
|
| Thanks again:
|
