I'm running Windows XP, SP2 and Office 2003.

In Outlook (not Outlook Express) when I open a message, the fonts are
too small.

Everything was working fine for months. I had all my font settings the
way I wanted them. I use HTML for my compose format, abd both of the
Microsoft Word checkboxes are checked. I have made NO changes to any of
the settings, and they still show as what I set them to.

Then, staring last week, things started to go wrong. Now, when I open
a message, the font is too small. I can do the Control-Scroll wheel
thing to make the font bigger, but it won't "stick." Every time I open
a new message, it reverts back to the too-small font. Sometimes when I
reply to a message, the font may be too small also. Or, the font in my
sig file is correct, but my newly typed text is in the smalled font.

Again, I made no changes to my set up. This is my computer at work,
and no new software or plug-ins have been installed.

How can I make the fonts stay the size I want them to be? Thanks.

That seems to have done it (so far). The Zoom in Word was set to
"Whole Page". I set it to 100%. Thanks.
