Note that this will affect all menus, not just the navigation pane.

Windows sees the Navigation Pane as a menu so:
Right click the desktop, choose "Properties"
Click the "Appearance" tab.
Click the "Advanced" button.
From the "Item" dropdown, choose "Menu" and set the Font to whatever
you like.

Is there a way in Outlook 2007 beta to reduce the size of the icons in

Navigation pane and across the top of the page? They are GIGANTIC.
Horrible
looking. It makes Outlook appear to be a comic book instead of a business
application. I will never use this version of Outlook (or Word for that
matter) if I can't reduce the icon size to very small, neat and nice
looking. I also cannot see how to reduce the font size for the listings
in
the Navigation pane. That is also way too large.

I like the size of the icons on the top of the "inbox page". Those are
nice
and small and neat. I hate the gigantic size icons on the "new message"
page
though. Why are those so huge? I don't have a vision problem with icons.
I
assume Microsoft must think everyone has low vision and thus needs
gigantic
icons. How do I change the size of the icons in the Navigation pane and
on
pages such as "new message" so they are very small and don't take up such
a
ridiculous amount of room?
