Open Outlook, at the top click on View, and then on Text Size -- choose Larger. Then no matter what size people write in, you SEE it as much larger.

Re: [TMIC] Re: Caps and craps
Yeah, am always poo-pooing AOL but you must be one of the few who over the years has learned how to use it to your benefit and overcome its shortcomings. Maybe those other AOLers can ask you for pointers...??? My brother-in-law #2 had AOL and asked me for help but I couldn't do a thing for him. He's since switched to RoadRunner.

Youalwaysare puttingdownAOL as an ISP, but many of us like it. I can use different fonts colors sizes etc etc So, as you can see, there are lots of choices on AOL as well. It's just a matter of using them, or not! Hugs to all, Barbara A
[TMIC] Re: Caps and craps
I have several e-pals writing to me in all lower case. Once I got used to it (the spacing seems to be different) it was OK. Also, typing in text-only is harder to read than in HTML (or rich-text) format, but again, not all e-mailers offer that option. How the yelling thingie got started, I believe, is because in cartoons the yelling is always typed in caps.. and lots of !!

If it is being done for emphasis it's obvious. My mom had arthritis and the skipping that extra step of hitting the shift key to capitalize made it a little easier for her to type (though after getting scolded about it from other people she switched to writing in all lower case). I'm sure that's the case with many on the TM list, though as Pam said, some felt all caps were easier to read. Using a bigger font helps with that. I don't see why it can't be one of those "live and let live" things. (Shrug.) Barbara H. http://barbarah.wordpress.com/
