DISPLAY FONT ISSUES IN OUTLOOK FOR IMAC

Could be a issue with Office's or a system Font Cache.

I'd try trashing the Office Font Cache first which is hidden your preferences.

- Showdown all Office apps.

- In the Finder, select "Go" and hold down the 'option' key until you see "Library"

- Select "Library"

- Navigate inside Library to Preferences/Microsoft/Office 20xx (that 2011 or 2008 I presume)

- Trash the file "Office Font Cache"

Relauch Outlook and try again.

I got as far as getting into the "library" as you suggested, but I find no file there marked

"Preferences/Microsoft/Office 20xx ".

Sorry that was the folders path; the long series of folders and sub-folders you need to navigate to get to the file called "Office Font Cache"

Library -> Preferences -> Microsoft -> Office 2011 (or Office 2008) -> Office Font Cache

- Once you've opened the "Library" folder,

- Open the folder "Preferences" inside of "Library" folder

- Then open "Microsoft" folder inside of "Preferences" folder.

- Then open "Office 2011" (or "Office 2008") folder inside of the "Microsoft" folder.

- Inside "Office 2011" (or "office 2008") folder, you should see a file called "Office Font Cache", which you can put in the trash.

Caches like that occasionally get bloated and corrupted. Once put in the trash, a new fresh one gets created.

When you restart an Office application, you should see an indication that it's updating/rebuilding the Font Cache -- we just threw away the old one.
