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?

Why do they think people are stupid enough not to care? Oh right, they really are.
Stupid enough to change all my time-consuming setting back to Aptos at the last update.....
It is certainly a problem. I have an information organizing system composed of hundreds of pages of documentation that is shared among thousands of users. Though it appears in its original format on my computer, whenever I or anyone else goes to copy and past portions (even though they might select "keep original formatting" on the paste option), the new Aptos font is used and the entire document and all the tables within are resized, repaginated and are no longer functional. Embedding fonts and saving changes to the template does not help either. This is probably one of the most destructive things Word has done.
Amazing how when Microsoft wants to change the font everywhere, they simply do it. Yet when we want to do the same, it is technically not possible.

Well, Microsoft created the software. Of course they can make any changes they want to the defaults. That doesn't mean that redefining existing Themes is a good idea, of course. They could have created a new Theme called "Office 2024" or something similar.
Note that if you set up a custom Theme, it won't change, even if Microsoft changes the predefined Theme called "Office."
My issue is I'm using word online and I dont have those options.
After working on a multi page document to discover word online has been creating inconsistencies in my font by changing it to aptos is maddening.
I've had to ctrl+a and change all the font everywhere and then go back through an redo all my headings.
Just to make it worse, I just pressed enter. The line I pressed entry from is using Calibri and the new line is Aptos. The best part is if I press the down arrow, the line below is Calibri as well. Where is it pulling aptos from, and how do I kill it.
