Windows 10: Recent MS Office 2019 Problems - Blocked Documents/No Outlook Preview

I'm not exactly sure when...recent update maybe, but one of my two machines with Office 2019 is acting up. The other one is perfectly fine. On one machine, a large number of documents are now requiring "unblock" to be set in properties to open them. It's mainly in Word and Excel. Word says file is "corrupt" and Excel says I'm out of memory and can't open or save. When I click properties and "unblock" them they work. I'm not sure what setting is triggering this behavior but I shouldn't have to do this for all documents.

Also, in Outlook, I can no longer preview attachments...especially Excel workbooks. I've researched online and checked all the preview handler registry entries and nothing has worked.

Any recommendations or suggestions for continued trouble-shooting? I've also repaired and reinstalled Office...same issue(s) persist. Thanks.

:)

Adjusting font size in Outlook folder list (2016/2019)


Hi folks
Is there a way to get this screen in Outlook 2016/2019.

Here in Outlook 2010 you can easily adjust the font size and type in the folder list (navigation pane) and other things which makes it much more readable on a large monitor - sometimes default fonts are too tiny - especially when viewed on large screens !!





I can't seem to get to similar screens in Outlook 2016/2019.
In Some places you can't set size either - you just get choice of small, large, larger !!!!!!! definitely a retrograde step IMO.

Cheers
