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?

Today I posted this article referencing your help
Hey, since Microsoft can arbitrarily redesign the documents that I create, I presume that it's perfectly okay for the rest of us to do likewise. Can you advise me on the best way to change the Microsoft logo to a caricature of Bill Gates and the word "Maikrosaft" in Comic Sans?
Oh, it's not a thing I'm allowed to do?
I guess Microsoft, Inc. is special. Gee, I sure wish us lowly grovelling customers were special like Microsoft. I sure wish that people like me with decades of experience in graphic design had the immense wisdom of the pimply faced coders at Microsoft, and could select superior fonts like they do.
Is there a way I can pay more for this valuable service?
If you mean headings rather than headers, note that you can modify the built-in heading styles in NormalEmail.dotm as well. Do these changes from within a new message in Outlook. You can use the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) to access specific styles.
Thanks Mark Nabb! You're definitely right with the NormalEmail.dotm template. The only problem I'm having atm is that the header font reverts back to Aptos after I've saved the file!
What is driving me crazy is that Microsoft made it so that they can wave their magic wand and change EVERYTHING to their chosen font.... but leave us nothing that will successfully do the same.
My company had a designated default font, but Microsoft's change has overridden our company default.
