How can I fix the left email margin?

[frogmarch]

I have Windows Live Mail 2011, and a while ago, without knowing it, I must have done something to throw off the typing area in my email message boxes. Now a couple of letters of text don't show because they're outside the left margin of the message box.

I've searched online for a solution, but I've found none that worked.

My email doesn't have a ruler or any other way to set the margins. All I can do is justify L or R or Center, and increase or decrease the left margin on each individual line, just as I would by using the space bar.

I don't know what I did, but I can't undo it. Help, please!

2. See if this suggestion about Control Key + M key helps you

You hold down the Control Key and then tap the M key. Maybe that will shift your margin back to the left again ? I've never really used Windows Live Mail, so I can't help you much more. Can you reinstall it or would that erase all of your emails ?

3. All Ctrl M did was bring up a new message box.

Thank you for trying, and thanks too for the link.

4. I'm afraid to uninstall/reinstall

for fear of losing my emails.

I can use my spacebar, so it's not as if I can't write emails. It'll just be a bit of a nuisance, that's all.

Thanks again!

5. Hold ctrl and then scroll the mouse wheel

Sounds like your zoom is off?
