How to increase e-mail font size before printing out.

Sometimes I will recieve an e-mail that I want to print and the font is small. I can't find a way to increase it when I print it. My font is already set on largest. Anything else ? Thanx Bill Myrick

Bill, there might be a better way than this, but one thing I've done in that situation is to highlight the email, copy it, and then paste it into a "new" email of my own. I can then change the font size on my own email and voila!

But, as I said, maybe there's a better way...?

Hmmm... I use AOL, Al, and the Edit commands, including copy and paste, are right up at the top of the screen. But I see you have another email carrier, so I can't say if they have these commands or not.

Here's another idea: most email programs allow you to highlight some portion of text in an email before you click on "Reply". That creates a quotation at the top of your reply email that says something like <<On Sept 17, 2002, A. Marcus wrote: blah, blah, blah>>

So, if you can do that with your email program, just highlight everything in the original email and then click Reply; it will create a new email with all that old text in it (in quotes or << >> marks, which you can delete before printing). Hope it works for ya!

With Outlook or Outlook Express, all you have to do is highlight the area/text you want to copy and then RIGHT click on it and then left click on copy.

Or you can Click on Edit at the top and then click on Select All and all of the message will be highlighted. You can also select the copy, etc from the Edit dropdown menu. (standard windows functions that are available on most windows programs).

You can then paste it into WordPad or a WordProcessor program. You can then edit the text size or whatever and print it out.
