Change (increase) the font size in Outlook 2016 reading pane
My tired old eyes, 85 years, no longer can comfortably read emails in the reading pane. How can I increase the size of the font a notch or two? I searched the web but cannot find an answer that will work on my W10 system.
I am a Microsoft Community expert here to help you. I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties.
Will this help:
With the message open in Outlook's reading pane, click Zoom in the Outlook status bar.
With the message open in its own window: Make sure the Message ribbon in expanded. Click Zoom. Select the desired zooming level under Percent. Click OK.
Please let me know I'm happy to try to solve your problem.

I knew about the 'Zoom' thing but that only applies to the current message in view. The next message or a new instance of Outlook doesn't recognize the new 'Zoom' level Is there no way I can set a level and apply it to all messages or instance of Outlook?
Thank you.
