Hello,

Can you please give simple & short steps for how to change my MOBILE APP Outlook font back to calibri? I don't want the new aptos on my phone. FYI, I've already changed everything on my desktop, but aptos persists on the mobile app/phone.

Thanks very much in advance!

    Yes, just replace Calibri with every time I used Aptos. Calibri should be available on your desktop Outlook:

    WORKAROUND:

    1. Send an email from your Outlook desktop with some sample text formatted with the font of your choice to your Outlook mobile. I suggest this text be the name and size of the font you want your email to have. Example "Calibri****11".
    2. Create an automatic signature in Outlook mobile.
    3. Copy and paste the email contents you sent yourself into the signature.
    4. Whenever you compose an email in Outlook mobile, start your email right after the formatted text. In the example below, you would start typing after "Calibri 11". Your new email text will now be formatted the same as the sample text.
    5. Delete the sample text ("Calibri 11") after you compose your email.
    6. Here's an example of the signature. You of course don't have to have a full signature like this, but must at least have the sample text "Calibri 11" formatted from Outlook desktop:

    Calibri 11

    Hi Mario Dutra,

    As our signatures are generated for us, we cannot change this, there is no option.

    My workaround is to create either Hi, Hello, or whatever I would start the email with in Calibri font in blue, size 11 to match my email. I save the email several times as drafts on my PC/Laptop on Outlook. When I use my mobile, I go into the outlook email client and go to the Drafts folder. I copy this text, go into the inbox, click new email then paste this into the body.

    This does not work for the next email if you go into the clipboard as this stores it as normal unformatted text. If you leave it a few hours after copying then it will not keep the format. You have to go back into your drafts folder

    Unfortunately this is the only way it can be done.

    Regards

    Ste

    Mine is some script font, which I cannot change. It isn't even the aptos. the script is cursive looking and very hard to read. I have been unable to change it no matter what I do.

    Hi Nina,

    There are very little options including the simple undo and redo. I know you can change away from the swipe keyboard and rotate the device then use the shortcut CTRL and X for cut or CTRL and Y together to add back.

    Sorry I cant help with your font.

    Regards

    Ste

    Thanks Mario,

    I tried your workaround but unfortunately it worked only partially. While it first sends my test email correctly in calibri (the font i chose to try out), when I FORWARD my test email again to myself as a second test, the font reverts back to Aptos. So the forward and reply functions don't maintain the chosen font.

    The frustration continues. It's totally incomprehensible why Microsoft imposes a poor font on us and doesn't resolve the issue.
