My outlook could be older version.. but try 1. In outlook, go to tools 2. Scroll down to options 3. Click on "mail format" tab 4. go to "stationary & fonts" 5. At "stationary and fonts" you have the option of changing font for composing, replying, forwarding, etc... Hope this helps. Chris -----Original Message----- From: James S.
