Hi Ron. No stationary. I also noticed this morning I can't change the text
size in my MSN email account either. I can't even change the text in the body
of the email, it stays on 12. This is probably and MSN problem since it
happens in their hotmail also, no?

Lets start at the beginning.

How are you trying to change text size and what, if anything, happens?

Are you using Plain Text of HTML Format? (Tools, Options, Send).

If you are using HTML, are you using any stationery? (Tools, Options,
Compose)?

Here are the steps that I take to change the font size:
Tools, Options, Compose.
Select font settings for mail....apply, okay.
I've tried to do this over and over but the font and text size remains the
same regardless of my changes.

I am also using HTML for mail settings.
I am also using a gif signature for my mail.

thanks in advance for your help.

In Tools, Options, Compose what font and font size are you selecting for
mail.

Down below that for Stationery, is the mail box checked? If so, the any
font specified in stationery override the above settings. Note the
BLANK for stationery is a stationery named BLANK. It does not mean no
stationery. For no stationery you must uncheck the box for mail.

When you compose a message, what does the font and size show in the
toolbar at the top of the message body?

Can you highlight text and change the font?

You mention using a GIF for a signature. You can't use a GIF directly.
You must use HTML that references the GIF. How did you create the HTML
file? Does it specify any font? Note that signature files should be
created in Notepad, not Word because Word puts in a ton of garbage HTML.

you are a GENIUS!

This was the problem all along:

"Down below that for Stationery, is the mail box checked? If so, the any
font specified in stationery override the above settings. Note the
BLANK for stationery is a stationery named BLANK. It does not mean no
stationery. For no stationery you must uncheck the box for mail."


Thank you so much. I have asked everyone about this and no one could figure
it out except for you. You are a GENIUS!!!!

You are welcome and thanks for posting back.

You are not the first one to do that. I don't know why Microsoft
created a stationery called BLANK. It just confuses people.
