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.

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.

I have done all on this thread. But still, when using the Outlook app on iPhone, it sends emails in Aptos, and I cannot figure out how to change it even from App settings. Thanks
Word for the web provides very limited customization options.
What you can do is format a text range in the desired font and then update the Normal style to match the selection.
