Default Unable to change font size

I have IE 7 and OE 6.0029.

I don't remember if this started happening before or after I upgraded to IE
7, but I cannot change the font size in OE messages I compose. It defaults
to 12 and cannot be changed. I can change the font from Arial to any other
style, but not matter what font style I use I cannot change the size.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Sid

Default Unable to change font size

No stationery selected. In fact on that same options page it shows that new
mail should default to Arial 10, and yet I am stuck on 12. I did try
changing to various sizes and on this option page, but it made no
difference.

Default Unable to change font size

In Tools | Options | Compose, are your choices as you want them there?

In Stationery, Blank is not selected either?

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

Default Unable to change font size

None of your suggestions about identities worked, but I checked out the link
you suggested below which I repasted he

OLEXP: Cannot Change Text Format Using Outlook Express:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q178895


and this solved the problem. It had to do with an accessibility option that
was checked that "ignored font sizes specified by webpages" or something
like that. I cleared that check mark and all is well.

Funny thing is I don't recall selecting that option in the past, but
nevertheless it was selected...

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I have seen boxes get checked, or unchecked. for no explainable reason. All
I can say is *Windows Happens*.
