I have Windows 7 Ultimate and MicroSoft Office 10 on my desktop computer, use Outlook for email and contacts, used to use the Outlook calendar till I got an iPhone 5S a few months ago, so now my calendar is the iCloud calendar, viewed in Outlook. The notes section of iCloud calendar entries uses very tiny font that is barely visible. I cannot find a way to change the font in the iCloud calendar in Outlook. There is no "format text" tab in the iCloud calendar to choose font type and size, like there is in the Outlook calendar. I spoke to Apple, who said this is a MicroSoft issue. I don't find anything regarding this when I Google "font size icloud calendar". I realize I can highlight the notes and make them larger with the mouse so I can read them on the desktop, but I would prefer to set my default font as a larger size.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate any help I can get.

It does seem that this is a problem with the iCloud & Outlook. The forum below discusses this issue & there are no really complete solutions, but there are some work arounds that you could try.

I just submitted this on Apple's comment page:

There have been many complaints for a few years regarding the tiny font size in the iCloud calendar viewed in the Outlook calendar on desktop computers, yet it has not been rectified. The current font size simply cannot be seen. This is an accessibility issue, which is covered by federal law. Why hasn't Apple fixed this so people can use and see their calendar notes?

Let's see what happens now......

Certainly worth a try. It will be interesting to see if Apple do something about it.
