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?

    Thank you! I'm an individual user, so there is no IT department involved.

    In Word for Windows, open the Normal template for editing and then change the document default font.

    Hi Diane,

    When I pull something from my Quick Parts in Outlook, the font remains Aptos, even though I originally set this up with Calibri. Is there a way to change the font permanently when using Quick Parts and/or responding to an email? Some of my responses will have both fonts on the same message.

    Somewhere in this thread is a response that you can't!!

    You have to create a new personal POTX with the fonts that you want and then create new PPT by specifically selecting that.

    But the "create new" button will always open their default template with the Aptos non-sense!!

    .. after all .. Microsoft knows what is best for you ....
