Size of fonts
Small problem seeing;
On Windows Mail the font in the area with Inbox, Outbox who From, etc, the
font is extremly small. I have tried increasing the dpi and switched to
largest text and it is still uncomfortable small. The create mail area is ok.
I am using 12 font and that is sufficient. None of this seem to affect the
top portion I mentioned above.
Anyone know of a way to increase the size of the lettering? I have 1 17"
laptop, so that is not the problem.

Re: Size of fonts
Try increasing the Windows icon text font:
Right-click on the desktop, Personalize, Windows Color and Appearance,
"Open classic appearance properties...", Advanced; under Item,
select Icon, choose font and size.

Re: Size of fonts
Gary,
Thanks for the help. It worked. Now my 72 year old eyes can see what I
probably don't need to see anyway. It has been my experience that these
boards get better results than attempting to talk to the providers, product
makers and all other who should help you but make it almost impossible to
get help.
Thanks again.
Tracy
