- Medtronic WorkingSm@rt ® 2015 Background. Medtronic is the world’s premier medical technology and healthcare services provider. Medtronic is a pre-eminent leader in delivering technology and procedural innovations to address the major disease states impacting patients and healthcare costs around the world.
- I had the same exact issue. Am on a Mac using MS Outlook, with the webex plugin. My default font is 'American Typewriter' and whenever I would add a webex meeting to my appointments, the appointment had html.
- Click the “Cancel WebEx Meeting” icon. The WebEx call-in information will disappear from your invite. NOTE: If the WebEx meeting information does not disappear from the meeting invite the first time you click Cancel WebEx Meeting, close the meeting window and repeat steps 1 and 2. Click “Send Update” 4.

Outlook for Mac features and add-ins issues
Font appears smaller in a composing window of Outlook 2016 for Mac
Last updated: Sep 15, 2017
ISSUE
The Zoom setting can be found in a new email message window by selecting the Options tab and clicking the Zoom button on the Ribbon.
Learn how to configure the Webex integration to Microsoft Outlook using Cisco Webex Productivity Tools on your Mac. Once you have installed the Webex integration to Outlook, you can join and schedule meetings, change your preferences, and more.
If the zoom setting is altered on a new message, the altered setting remains until changed back. Zoom does not change the actual font size, it simply zooms in or out on the composing window text, (impacts the composing mode window of all new messages/replies). Zoom does not affect the reading pane or received messages - those will show the actual font size.
Once the setting is applied in the Outlook profile, it will retain for all future messages until it is changed in the message Options menu.
This can cause a perceived smaller font if the zoom is set to less than 100%. For example, if the zoom is set at 75%, the font of newly composed (or reply/forward) appears to be smaller, compared to the reading pane or an open received message (not in composing mode).
STATUS
This behavior is by design. Please check your zoom settings if you run into this issue and adjust as appropriate.
