Set the default font in Outlook 2007

A question popped up on The New Paperclip forums that I thought I might share with you all….
“How do you set the default font in Outlook 2007?”
It is easy in Word 2007… but in Outlook 2007 it is a little different… but here is how!
- Click “Tools” -> “Options”
- Select the “Mail Format” tab
- Click “Stationery and Fonts…”
- On the Signatures and Stationery dialog box that appears, ensure that you are on the “Personal Stationery” tab
- Click “Font…”
Then select your favourite font, style, size, colour, and effects… and then click OK half a dozen times 
Cheers,

First of all this is a great site. Thanks!
I am stumbling and bumbling at virtually every turn, but slowly figuring things out. However, I am FRUSTRATED with this default font/styles matter. In Outlook, I have tried, to the letter, these directions, and I cannot get Bold to hold as a choice, though it says that is an option. I am also “lost” with trying to get the same things to occur in Word. Help!
Yes, but how do you set the default font for the user in the .MSP & prevent them from changing it?
How can I prevent my signature from taking the reply font color?
thanks!!! I never would have found this on my own …
You cant set the fonts in the MSP or via group policy, its a “feature” of Office 2007. easiest way isto export the settinsg from the registry and eploy the reg file.
Scenario -
Reply to message font is set to blue. Signature font is set to automatic (black).
When you reply to a message, the signature also changes to blue. it doesnt do that in Office 2003. the only way i can see to fix that it, is to specify the font color in the signature, ie. change it from automatic, to black.
Ideas ?
Set the default font in Outlook 2007, how can I accomplish this with 500 users (group policy) ???
Hi
i have an application which will launch Microsoft Outlook with some attachment. When an email opens up with this attachments, fonts for these attachments are honoring default fonts (Arial) on Outlook 2007. however once you started to type some thing on the email body, it is using Times New Roman font.
i don’t know how to fix this problem. any one has any idea?
Sys admin resource for the original question… :o)

This seriously sucks! MS 2007 is a nightmare - totally screwing everything up and making it impossible to adjust things. I am not able to change fonts no matter what I do - I limited to two font types! This is total nonsense - there is no excuse for this level of incompetance on the part of MS!!!!
