Enlarge print size in Outlook Email

Here’s a handy tip if you want to enlarge the text size for printing from the Outlook email client. (This only works with the Outlook program that’s part of MS Office. It won’t work with Outlook online.)

Start by opening the message you want to print and clicking on the Message tab.
