Can I resize message boxes in XP Pro? 1

[PRWA]

MS Office programs, especially Outlook 2003, display message boxes that cut off the right-hand half of their contents. There's no apparent way to resize the boxes. Altering resolution, display size, refresh rates etc doesn't help, it just makes everything proportionately larger or smaller. Altering text size doesn't help either.

Is there some way of rescaling the message box frames? If not, can I reduce the size of the contents without affecting other settings?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a way of asking Microsoft questions like this without having to mortgage the house?

Many thanks ---

Your last question first: the Microsoft public newsgroups, or Web-based forums such as Tek-tips.

I think you will get a better answer here: forum605

My only suggestion is to see if the screen has a horizontal scroll bar. The newer Microsoft mice with Tilt wheel make viewing such screens much more convenient. There is no way to adjust dialogue box size.
