Enlarging text/changing font on received emails.

[Animals4me]

Know this is a very basic question but despite trying various permutations
Iam unable to succeed so hopefully some kind person will tell me how and what to click to get the following...

I often receive emails too small to read and sent from Iphones to my PC.I need to know firstly how to enlage the text and also to change the colour font.
I do know how to change size and font for sending an email but the receiving and wanting to change what I get through before printing is the issue.I have also noticed that when I do print it appears to print slightly smaller than what appears on the screen.So like a size 14 on the screen would print out at a 12.

Many thanks for all help.I have windows Xp if that matters.

hold CTRL down while spinning your mouse wheel; or:

CTRL + or -

View > Zoom

These will need to be changed back when you go to other screens.

Yes, I've often wondered why printing comes out different sizes and fonts on emails I get; maybe someone mroe knowledgeable than me will explain.

You could copy and paste the text into a word processor and then you can do whatever you like with the text (font, color, size etc) then print it.

The sender of an email is the one who decides what font, size, colour you get.

To "SlackAlice"...this is what I have always thought but friends laugh when I ask them how I do this and tell me they have been able to change size and colour of my emails to them! Thanks.

I'm using MS Office Outlook 2003 as my email client. I can open emails and alter font sizes to a certain extent but not the colour or font used. May be possible in later editions of MS Office.
My comment was to jno because she was unsure why emails received were all in different sizes/fonts.

How do you read your emails via Webmail or pick them up by using an email client?

I don't know if this applies to your set-up but if you use Outlook Express and Internet Explorer then the size of the printed font from Outlook Express is controlled in Internet Explorer.
In I.E., go to VIEW, TEXT SIZE and click "largest". Now print your e-mail and it will print with a larger font.
Hope this helps.

SlackAlice, yes, sort of, but if someone replies to an email I've sent them, and it still contains my original text, this may have changed size or typeface even though the sender has done nothing to it.

To "Wak" Thanks for your suggestion.Did as you said and selected largest from the drop down option but it didn't change the text size.

Which e-mail and Browser are you using, Animals4me?

[Animals4me]

To "Wak" Iam using aol mail although they aren't the IP.Iam sorry Iam unsure of what browser.Know it is Windows XP and internet explorer but have to say Iam quite a novice. Iam just logging on and going direct to my aol mail.Only way I know.

HI, As far as I know Internet Explorer (your browser) only does what I suggested about the "printing large" with Microsoft's Outlook Express E-mail program as they both work together.
It doubt if it will do it with AOL. I've never used AOL as i understand that it takes over everything in sight.
Sorry it didn't work for you but if you ever try O.E. for your mail then you'll know what to do as I know it does work with I.E.
I also use Win XP as they seem to spend years on newer programs sending updates before they get it working OK.
Anyway, Best of luck and I hope you soon sort out what you want to do.
Wak.
