Reverting Aptos +body/+headings font back to Calibri, or using any other font

Anonymous

At some point in the last couple of days, the default +body/+headings font on my copy of Office 365 changed to the Aptos font. I honestly find it a bit hard to read, and I'd rather choose my default body font from a choice of whatever fonts I have installed. Failing that, I'd take Calibri again. The Aptos font reminds me a lot of

Since this affects all Office products, I can't say go into Outlook and change the stationery fonts; this doesn't impact the Reading Pane. It also wouldn't impact say Word, where I'd have to come up with my own document template to override the change. It doesn't seem to be a registry edit or template file edit, either. Is there a spot that the Aptos font can be changed?

    Hello!

    I have changed all the settings within Outlook (both in the options and set as default on style) to Calibri size 11.

    However, Outlook will change the font back to Aptos size 12 while I'm typing.

    I'll be typing in Calibri, hit enter to continue the next line, and now I'm back in Aptos.

    Is there a way to keep Outlook from changing the font and font size while I'm typing?

    It's frustrating to have to reformat all your text constantly because Outlook keeps reverting to Aptos even though I have everything set to Calibri.

    Thank you!

    Hi Diane,

    I very much appreciate your answer above. Unfortunately the screenshot shown does not match my Outlook installation (Outlook 365, version 2407, build 17830.200094). The Styles section is not available:

    I am looking for an option to set a new style as standard in Outlook, but I cannot find it.

    In Word and Excel the option "Set as standard" is available, but not in Outlook.

    Thanks and best regards,

    Fa
