When opening messages in Outlook 2010 (not using the reading pane) you can hold control down and roll your mouse wheel up to zoom in on the message, but you have to do this each time you open a message.
Is there a way to set the default zoom level for messages? For example, set the zoom level to default to 150% for each message.
Failing that is there any other way I can make the default text to larger when reading messages? (without changing the DPI settings in the OS)

This is normal behavior for Outlook 2010; it does not retain zoom adjustments. The only option you have is to create a macro that runs at launch or to use an Add-In for zoom control.
Here is how to add VBA to set the zoom level at application start-up.

button to kick start it without restarting Outlook.Note: The second to last line is where you set the zoom percentage. Change the

to the percent you desire.Source - Adjusting Outlook's Zoom setting in Email
