Customize settings for viewing items in the Reading Pane. Change the font, style, and size used to display the message header information in the Reading Pane. The message header is located at the top of the Reading Pane and displays information in the From , Subject , To , and Cc fields.

Outlook provides two Reading Pane options that affect the read status of a message viewed in the Reading Pane. Select one of the two options. The Mark items as read in the Reading Pane option marks items as read after a specified number of seconds, while the Mark item as read when selection changes option marks items as read when you select another item. Since both options cannot be selected simultaneously, selecting one option automatically deselects the other. You can disable both read status options if you do not want any messages marked as read until you open them in a Message window. Additionally, you can select an option to use the [Spacebar] key to move to the next message while reading messages in the Reading Pane. Using the [Spacebar] key to move through messages in the Reading Pane automatically marks messages as read, regardless of the read status options you selected in the Reading Pane dialog box.  P ROCEDURES
