One of my users came to me today with an interesting problem: The notes field in all of his contacts is appearing extremely small and is unreadable at 1024X768 (pictured below). For the record this is a sales person with 100's of contacts so manually changing them is out of the question.

The settings are Calibri and 11 point font however they appear like 2-3 point font. I can easily change the font by right clicking within the body of the notes section however I can not seem to find the global setting.

Thus far I have tried:

  • All the options under tools>options>mail format>stationary and fonts.
  • The font setting under tools>options>preferences>note options.
  • The font settings when in the contacts pain under view>current view>customize current view>other settings.

I'm not sure where else to look.

A Google search leads me to believe this a problem others have however no one seems to be able to solve it.

Even if you don't have an answer any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated, I don't want to just tell this user he's screwed...

Outlook 2007 and the OS is Windows XP Pro.

Have you checked if the user has Calibri font installed?

Yes he has the Calibri font installed and it displays it fine in messages and in notepad. – Kyle May 5 '11 at 13:56

is it possible that a New Style Set has been created and applied by default? What do Style Inspector and Reveal Formatting show? Something is being applied to reduce the size – datatoo Jun 7 '11 at 17:53
