Outlook 2010. Increase font size from received emails for printing?

Hello!

Is it possible to increase the font size when I print an email I've received?

I've only seen tips to increase the font size of MY emails, but how about others' emails? Is there a way of increasing it?

Thanks!

Hi,

We have two methods to increase the font size when we print an email.

Method 1:

Open the message ,and choose the action and edit the message to change the font size.

Method 2:

  • Open an email that you want to print;
  • Click File tab;
  • Click Print;
  • Under Printer,click Print Options, and then on the Print dialog box, under Print style, click Page Setup dialog box, you can update the font.

Best regards,

Hi Karen!

First of all, thanks for answering!

Second, in the first method I can't edit the message unless I choose to resend it. Which is basically the way I've been increasing the font size. (Resend < Copy message < Past on a Word document < Print)

In the second method I am able to get to the Page Setup but all that allows me to change is the title and the fields (to:, cc: and bcc:)

I'm starting to think it might be a problem with my printer?

This is a major oversight on Microsoft's part. They provide a zoom feature for reading on-screen, but apparently not for printing!

Here's another work-around.  You can produce a PDF sized for smaller paper, then scale-up the PDF when you print.

With the CutePDF print driver selected, I went to Print, Page Setup, Paper, Paper Type, Statement, OK, Preview, Print.  Enter filename.  This will save a PDF for a 5.5" x 8.5" pages. 

Open this with Adobe Reader.  File, Print, Fit, Print.  This will scale up the pages by 125%.

You could get different magnification by setting a custom paper size.

This is tedious, but it might work in a pinch.
