Change the Style of Text and Other Elements in a View

For better visibility, you can change some of the font types, styles, and sizes in Outlook 2002 folder views. For example, in your Inbox, you can change the fonts for the column headings, the text in rows, and AutoPreview. In your Calendar, you can change the fonts for the day, week, and month. The following accessibility tutorial illustrates how to make changes to the Inbox folder. Other Outlook 2002 views have similar settings options.

Note: When you make changes to a current view, it affects only that view. To make changes to multiple views, repeat these procedures for each view.
