I have Outlook 2007 on my laptop and Outlook 2003 on my main workstation – and the latest Technical Refresh seems to be causing a slight bug that made my Outlook 2003 view ugly. If Outlook 2007 fires up first with Outlook 2003 being offline it resets the default font on the default Inbox view from Tahoma 8pt to Segoe UI 8pt…. a font that looks really ugly in Outlook 2003. Anyhow, here is how you reset it back: (click on the screenshot to enlarge)
Right click on From/Subject/Received header in your inbox and select Customize Current View.
Click on Other Settings button to adjust fonts.
Click on Row Font button and reset it back to Tahoma 8pt.
Thats it. Bugged…
