Make Outlook’s To-Do Bar bigger
If you’re anything like me, your to-do list is always growing. And, if you’re like me, you also like to keep that to-do list visible so you can see what needs to be done. But, the default size of the To-Do Bar in Outlook can be a little too small for some.
- In the Layout section, click on To-Do Bar and Options.
- In the To-Do Bar Options window, you’ll see a slider that you can use to adjust the size of the To-Do Bar. Move the slider to the right to make the To-Do Bar bigger or to the left to make it smaller.
