MedicSN6 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 That could be a windows settings issue. Check the Personalization options for text size or icon size. Does this only happen in Outlook? If so, try a re-install, but first write down all of your setup info like pop accounts and passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 only outlook. did full unistall/reinstall so i think what ever it is stays in the registry during that process. Its wierd. I see also that the when you are in mail and in personal folders, the tasks and reminders ect have a smaller "times new roman" font too. Office 07 is such a piece of crap...... but oh well.

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Or on some keybords you can hold down controll and scroll the mouse wheel and it will change the size of the font, try that. And Maybe fridaynight GRAW 2 again amegio! Edited October 2, 2008 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky~SPARTA~ Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 My money would be on high DPI. It's the kind of thing you tend to see when things are not dpi aware, but I'm surprised to see it in office 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Make sure you do all your updates and send in your error reports. Vista will act qurkie if your running low amount of ram. I would suggest 3 gig and above. Edited October 3, 2008 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapperguy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have you resized you desktop recently? Try jacking it to a higher res and then open outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have you resized you desktop recently? Try jacking it to a higher res and then open outlook. I'm running at 1680x1050 so i changed it to 12..x.... then checked and the issues is following the resolution changes. I changed back to 1680x1050 again and the issue is still there. too bad, I thought that might do it. Thanks for that suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Office 2007 ? if yes 1. Copy tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf from the Office XP CD-Rom to your desktop (both files are located in the Office1.cab cabinet file) 2. Restart Windows in Safe Mode 3. Replace the existing tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf in your Windows/Fonts folder with the ones on your desktop 4. Restart -- and the problem should be a thing of the past or 2003 you can download them directly from Miscrosoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188081/ as part of a Euro symbol update. run the .exe and no more problem oversized fonts.
