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

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?

    I'm having an issue where when I paste text, it shows up as aptos even if the copied text is calibri. how do i prevent this from happening?

    What happens in a copy/paste will depend on several factors, but basically Word honors style-based formatting whenever it is able to do so. This is standard behavior in Word (it has nothing to do with the modified Theme).

    Let's say that you copy text formatted in Normal style in a document where 12 point Calibri is the default and then paste into a document where 12 point Aptos is the default. The pasted text will be 12 pt Aptos in the target document.

    This is because of the style. Please have a look at the first post.

    If Aptos font is set you will see pasted text in that font.

    That is an issue I am still seeing even after all the changes made in my article.

    If you are displaying the paste options you can say to keep source formatting, but it should not be necessary to do that.
