Fonts change

I

I.T.ny

When I reply to an email the fonts change, I am using outlook 2002.

I have the fonts set to verdana 10 when composing, verdana 10 when replying
and forwarding and verdana 10 when composing and reading plain text. and i
have it set to "always use my fonts" in stationary fonts.

the font changes from verdana to Times New Roman when I send an email.
Can someone please advise? I dont know what to do next.
also i do not want Word as the editor, I want to compose in HTML, that is
set also.

I've had that problem, too. I think I can help.
Create an HTML signature, if you don't have one already. I strongly
recommend using Notepad or similar, the Outlook and Word HTML editors are
carp. Use a "style" property to set your formatting. Something like this:

<html><head><title>Signature</title></head>
<body><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">
Your Name<br>
Your Company<br>
287-478-2570<br>
</div></body></html>

Then make this your signature for replies and forwards at Tools |
Options | Mail Format. If you don't want a signature, just replace all the
text with a single space.
Let me know if that works for you!

I tried that and at first it seems to work but then when I got back to send a
message the signature is still 10 pt when I created it in 12 pt.

I am not having the problem with just replies but with sending a new message
too.

Office stores fonts in several places. Try changing your font in Outlook
under Tools | Options | Mail Format | Fonts, and/or under Word with Tools |
Options | General | E-Mail Options | Personal Stationery | Font. There is
also the Default Font under Internet Explorer.

I did everything you suggested - actually already did the one in Outlook but
double checked just in case. When I enter the signature manually it is the
correct size and font but the automatic one is still 10 pt not 12. I am
about ready to give up but know that there is some little secret that I am
missing.

No problem, it's certainly frustrating. Are the e-mails being created in
HTML format? If they're RTF, your HTML signature won't have any effect. You
can also post the contents of your HTML signature, I'd be glad to review it
for any possible "gotchas."

Yes they are being created in HTML - I checked that in two places several
times. Dumb question - how do I post the address? If it is cut and paste
here it is. Also it is the same in all three signatures I created. And now
I noticed that it has revert even when I do a manual insert. Thank you again.

You can find your signatures in C:\Documents and Settings\Your
Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures. Open your HTML signature with
Notepad, and copy the contents. I recommend you always create and edit your
HTML signature manually, with notepad; using Microsoft apps like Outlook,
Word, or FrontPage will clutter it with dozens of unnecessary tags,
increasing the size of all of your e-mails.
If you're not familiar with HTML, I'd be glad to get you started: it's very
easy. It's great for anyone who works with computers to know a little HTML.

I will take you up on that offer but need to get some other things done
before I start. Thanks again for your help. You will hear from me again
soon.
