Recently whenever I try to print mail I have in Outlook Express, the letters come out extremely big, although the fonts are small. When I change the font's size, it changes on screen but not in print.
The heading prints ok but the body of the mail very big.
In other programs (Word etc.) everything's fine.
Will appreciate any ideas.
Thanks

danplnsk, " When I change the font's size, it changes on screen but not in print." Possible you need to alter the default settings on the printer itself? If that fails to do the trick, what about c/p the mail into a WYSIWYG WP and print from there? Kinda a P.I.A., but...
Another possibility comes to mind, sorta doubtful, but... What if you hilite the text you wanna print, hit Ctrl+P to evoke the printer and select the settings from there then print the selection (special radio button) as you like?
HTH.

Thanks Ed,
when I copy the text to Word, it prints OK.
The strange thing is thst it used to be OK directly from OE, but suddenly it changed.
