Hello Joe thank you very much for the response. To follow up, however, my mistake was to seek help for increasing font in the reading pane. What I meant to say is how do I increase the font size of the 'Item List'-the entire Item List? In the customization piece you sent to me, there is a section that talks about 'Customizing the Item List' and instructs you to go to Preferences, personal settings and fonts, but that only adjusts the font size of the text in a message you write or read. What I want to do is increase the font size of the actual list of emails found in the Item List section. The font looks to be about '8' and it is too small to read. Previous versions of Outlook had very simple ways to do this.
With Outlook 2016 for Mac, I can not find any way to do it. Any thoughts? Thank you Steve.
