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 way to make this change across all Microsoft programs? Apparently my font style was changed to Aptos across all programs.

Microsoft can of course change the factory defaults, embedded into the program code. :-)

In Excel, go to File > Options > General and choose the desired font and size. The new defaults apply to future documents that you create. You can choose a specific font name or you can have Excel inherit the font from the current theme, which is what happens if you leave "Body Font" selected in the Use this as the default font box.
