The font for new mail messages is used for composing HTML email and in the notes field of calendar, contacts, and task items.

Sticky Notes have their own font setting.) The font for composing and reading plain text messages is also used when read as plain text is enabled.

You can select a Theme (stationery) to use, if desired, but specific stationeries may have font assignments which override the settings in this dialog.

However, these options wont change the font assigned to Body style which is the default font in Outlook 20072010.

If you want to change the Body style, you need to change the style, which is also easy to do, when you know where to look.

Change the fonts (and colors spacing if desired), then click on Set as Default to set this as the Body style in all new items.

Paragraph Spacing is not active unless the cursor is in the message body.) Change body style or just the Font Is there any benefit to changing the body style instead of just assigning a new font in Stationery and Fonts Not that Ive discovered.

Theoretically, changing the style could update all items using the generic body style, but I have yet to find any saved items that use the generic body style the formatting is saved with the text.

When you change the style while composing a message or adding notes to an item, it changes font used in the entire message, but I see more questions from people who want to change the style in previously saved items.

Update: As you can see in the following screenshot, updating the Body style instead of just changing the Font has the potential to eliminate confusion.

Why in the heck is Outlook not using my default font when i type a note after my signature (or use my signature as a header) If the Body font was set to Algerian, the last line of the message would use Algerian and the user would not wonder why Outlook wasnt working as expected.

Problem solved.:) 1 Access the Stationery and Fonts dialog through File, Options, Mail (the Stationery Fonts button is near top of the dialog) in Outlook 2010 and in Tools, Options, Mail format tab when using Outlook 2007 and older.

In screenshot: 1) Body style is set in the Fonts dialog but the font used for the Body style is not changed in this dialog.

If you select a different default font, it will not apply to the font used for the Body style, which is often the style used for the paragraph after the signature.

I dont know how to do this but it probably depends on a Registry Hack.

You should either print instruyctions for this or get rid of this web page.

It will not change the font used in existing items (as the font name is saved with the text.) Youll change the Body font then verify the body font is set as your default font.

Reply Lee C. December 8, 2012 2:54 am Outlook 2013 is driving me crazy.

I changed the Body font, but it keeps using stupid Calibri for new mail and replies.

Microsoft expended tons of effort to simplify the UI in 2013; they desperately need to do the same for actual functionality.

After a decade of people struggling to change such a basic setting, its still a huge pain that does not work for most people.

Good job, Microsoft.

Reply David Gray August 2, 2012 10:25 pm I opened the underlying Microsoft Word template, which is NormalEmail.dotm, changed the body style directly, and saved it.

While that SHOULD have banished Calibri to a black hole, its still there.

My next stop is the Themes directory, even if it means hacking them.

Reply Polli May 22, 2012 10:06 am I am trying to change the font and size to Calibri 14 in Outlook 2010, tried changing the Normal Body style, I select to use the change in new documents based on the template.
