I have read lots of discussions on changing the font and size of outgoing messages but none answer my problem... that I found anyway.

Using Outlook 2011 on my Mac and want to change the outgoing message font and size.

I've followed Preferences/Personal Settings/Fonts but nothing happens when I click on fonts. No other windows open, no other options listed anywhere... nothing.

Why is this not working or am I just not using it right?

Thanks for any help.

PS While we are on the subject can we change the size of the 'Item list' (list of incoming message headers) on the main outlook view as it is very small?
