SYMPTOMS

After you change the default font in Microsoft Exchange or Windows Messaging, the changes may not seem to take effect.

CAUSE

WordMail is enabled as the e-mail editor and is supplying the font.

RESOLUTION

To determine if WordMail is being used as the e-mail editor, click WordMail on the Compose menu. If the Use Word As Your Email Editor check box is selected, WordMail is controlling the default font.

To change the default WordMail font, Follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click WordMail Options, and note the default template listed.

  2. Open that template in Microsoft Word. Email.dot is the default template name.

  3. On the Format menu, click Font.

  4. Select the font, size, and color you want, and then click Default.

This makes the font you selected the default for any new mail messages whenever the template is used.
