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?

    From my experience, this can be done but you need to set the Font of each application separately.

    For Word, choose the Font selection (click on the arrow at the bottom right of Font area) then choose your desired Font, Size etc. and choose "Set as Default". Make your choice on the prompt if you want to change it only for this document or for all documents under Normal.dot template.

    In Outlook you need to go to File - Option - Mail - Stationery and Fonts - New Mail area - Font button.

    Make your Font selections. Click Ok.

    Repeat the same for Replies.

    I followed your helpful instructions. However, when I changed the default font to Arial, the "Set Default" line was grey-scaled and I was unable to activate it. Any suggestions on how to activate the Set Default? Thank you.

    Make sure your cursor is in the body section of the email.

    Does that help?
