MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" online Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.

After the service pack has been applied, you will now be able to specify the font size by setting the following registry value:

   \MSExchangeIS\Parameters\System\InternetConent

   Name: FontSize
   Type: REG_DWORD
   Range: 1 - 7
   Default: 2

The value specifies an index into a table. The current values of the table are:


   1 = 8 pt
   2 = 10 pt
   3 = 12 pt
   4 = 14 pt
   5 = 16 pt
   6 = 20 pt
