Not really. I still find it odd that Entourage uses secret, undocumented
shortcuts and ignores its own documented ones for doing the same thing. i
take someone's (Chris's?) point that the shortcuts he found (as above) are
for composing text rather than reading it, but so what? Shouldn't it be
documented somewhere? In the Help are about 50 shortcuts for editing text,
depending on whether you choose "Microsoft Office style text editing" or
"Macintosh style text editing". If it's a Word/Office shortcut I think it
should be in the "Microsoft Office style text editing" section. But it would
still have been better, IMO, to use the same keys as for making text larger
and smaller when as reading text. Maybe they should have taken the Word
shortcuts for reading, too, to be consistent Office-wide. But I don't think
it's smart to be inconsistent within Entourage, nor to have it undocumented.
It's certainly odd, although I'm glad the function exists. I've always just
used the popup window settings for text size.
