How to Change the Default Font in Outlook

Many people do not like the Outlook Default Font of Arial.  This font is a default because it is easiest to read and is a standard font that will work correctly within most e-mail software programs.

However, if you wish to change the Default Font, you may do so very simply.

To do so, follow these simple steps:

Click on Tools | Options.

Click on the Mail Format Tab.

On the Mail Format Tab, click on "Fonts".

Once in the Fonts Window, you have some options.  You may choose to change ALL Fonts or just one or two.  Click on Choose Font to change any of the font options:  New Messages, Reply and Forwarded Messages, and Messages in Plain Text.

Once you've made your changes, continue to click OK until you are back in your Outlook Window.

It's that simple!
