Here's my starter for 10.
I was struggling a little bit today with Outlook Web Access (OWA), my favoured email client for my Outlook email account. The editor had zoomed the compose/read area to about 200% of its normal size, probably because I brushed a knuckle inadvertantly across the mouse touchpad whilst moving around the keyboard. The display was a bit inconvenient and I couldn't find/remember the shortcut to get it back to its normal 100% setting. I'm using Microsoft's Edge Browser with its GPT-4 powered Bing Chat search engine so I thought I'd give it a go. What could possibly go wrong.
My search query:
How to resize text to 100% in OWA
Bing Chat's response:
To resize text to 100% in OWA, please follow these steps:
- Compose a new email.
- Select Format Text > Zoom.
- Set the zoom to 100% (or your preferred percentage) and select OK.
My reaction:
I took the advice but found there was no Zoom control provided under the Format Text menu. However, after a bit of exploration I did find the Zoom control under the View menu. As Bing Chat allows a response from the user I responded to Bing Chat.
My response to Bing Chat:
In OWA it is the View menu not the Format Text menu which provides the Zoom control
Bing Chat's 2nd response:
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct that the View menu provides the zoom control in OWA, not the Format Text menu. Here are the updated steps to resize text to 100% in OWA:
- Compose a new email.
- Select View > Zoom.
- Set the zoom to 100% (or your preferred percentage) and select OK.
Hmm...
