Hi!
In Outlook 365, the popup dialog boxes used to display error messages, contacts when composing a message, and other places are using a really small font. See the attached screen clip.
Has anyone else seen this? It seems like I have seen this before, but every search I've done returns information on how to change the font in messages and message folders.
Does anyone know how to reset it to a normal size? Other dialog boxes (MessageBoxes) from other apps on my system display correctly.
Note that this is NOT a Message Folder or Message View issue. The problem is only in the various dialog boxes that Outlook pops up to display status and other things.
Thanks!

I want 3 shortcuts on my Windows Start Menu: Email, Calendar and Contacts. Ideally each shortcut would launch Outlook with the proper command line parameters to select the desired function.
The "obvious" way to create the shortcuts works fine until you pin them to the Start Menu. At that point Program Manager treats all the shortcuts as if they were the same.
This is apparently not an uncommon problem. I've seen reports of people having similar problems when they create multiple shortcuts to launch the same application with different command line parameters, and then pin them to the Start Menu. I implemented the suggested workaround and I ended up with three different shortcuts that I could pin to the Start Menu.
Hooray! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: Almost. :sad_but_relieved_face: That workaround appears to confuse Outlook. As I originally reported, some of the fonts went goofy. I also discovered that when viewing/changing my accounts I was presented with the old account setup UI instead of the new one. (I actually prefer the old one. :grinning_face:) I'm suspecting that other gremlins were lying in wait.
So, I backed out the suggested workaround and invented one of my own.
So far, so good.
Cheers!
