The text in my Outlook Reading Pane has increased in size and become double-spaced overnight. I have tried to change this with "Stationery & Fonts" and the View Settings without any success.I am running Microsoft 365 on Windows 11.

I have found the solution.I noticed an option named "Immersive Reader" was selected in the View Tab and switched it off - problem solved.I don't know how this was selected but it must have been a slip of the mouse.Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What a major league pain in the butt that is. And how the hell is that an immersive reader. OMG. That is one garbage feature I hope to never see again.
