Hello Kim,

Just so there is no misunderstanding, this is a public user-to-user support forum. We are users just like you helping other users. We have no access to any user account.

From your post, I understand you need assistance with changing the default font and format type settings in Outlook. When you set a default font, new messages you create uses that font setting as default.

If you are using the classic Outlook application, follow the steps below to change the font;

1. Go to File > Options > Mail > Under Compose messages, choose Stationery and Fonts.
2. On the Personal Stationery tab, under New mail messages or Replying or forwarding messages, choose Font.
3. In the Font box, choose the font, style, size, and color that you want to use. You can see a preview of your changes as you make them.
4. Choose OK three times to return to Outlook. The new settings takes effect immediately.

If you are using the new Outlook application, follow the steps below to change the font;

1. Launch the Outlook application >> click on View tab >> Select the View settings.
2. Select Mail section >> Under the Compose and Reply section, navigate to Message format and select your preferred font and size.
3. Click on OK and the new settings takes effect immediately.
