You can change the magnification of the Reading Pane contents in the following ways:

Select one of the three predefined magnification levels, or select or type a specific
magnification level in the Percent box.
● To change the zoom level in 10 percent increments, click the Zoom Out and Zoom
In buttons.
● To quickly change the zoom level to any setting between 10 percent and 500
percent, move the Zoom slider to the left or right.
Marking Messages as Read
By default, Outlook does not change the read status of a message when you preview it
in the Reading Pane. If you commonly read your messages in the Reading Pane rather
than opening them in message windows, you can keep better track of read and unread
messages by changing the default setting.
To instruct Outlook to mark a message as read after you have previewed it in the
Reading Pane:
- Display the Backstage view, and then click Options.
- On the Mail page of the Outlook Options dialog box, in the Outlook Panes area,
click Reading Pane.
