How to Change the "Print" Font Size in Windows Mail

Wainui · 08-28-2007, 01:54 AM

Hi all,:newbie:

Whenever I print out an email in Windows Mail the font size is "very large"
Although my "Read" font size is set to Medium the print out is quite different.
Does anyone know how to change this.

Thank you.

Windows Mail in Windows Vista Home Premium

when you open the eml... next open VIEW--> text size --> choose the size you want... unless your printer has a specific setting... this should be the same as selected here... mine is.

That was the first thing I tried and it only changes the "Viewing" font size not the "Print" font size.
I have two Printers and both give me the same result ( Large fonts) when printing from Windows Mail.
There are no settings on the printers to change the print font size.

Hi Snuffy,

I did have a look at that article but none of the suggestions work.
Apparently, this problem could be related to the fact that I'm using a Wide Screen Monitor and the Shrink to Fit option set in IE7.

If I use an ordinary CRT "square" monitor the problem it not there.

So, hopefully Microsoft will come up with an answer.

Thanks for your help.

Strange I also use a Digital LCD WS Monitor, but I do not have that problem...
