I am trying to set my default font for a new email in Outlook 2003. I have tryed the steps in the help but When it tells me to go to Format -- Font and set the font size then to click on Default in the bottom left....its not there. I tried this in Word 2003 and the Font setup screen looks the same BUT the Default button is there and I am able to set the default font...but it doesnt change it for Outlook 2003 too.

Help! How can I get me default font size in Outlook setup! Right now its set to size 9 and is super small!

Thanks.

From the main Microsoft Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
Click Fonts.
Choose the font:
For HTML or RTF messages

Next to the When composing a new message box and the When replying and forwarding box, click Choose Font.
For plain text messages

Next to the When composing and reading plain text box, click Choose Font.
Select the options you want, and then click OK.
If you use stationery, click an option under Stationery fonts.
Note If Microsoft Word is your e-mail editor, you can set the default fonts in Word, too. If your message is in HTML format, you can even use a cascading style sheets (cascading style sheets (CSS): Declarations, either embedded in a Web page or stored in a separate .css file that is linked to a Web page, that specify the appearance of particular HTML elements.) (CSS) to define the fonts. For messages you reply to or forward, Word can also automatically choose a different font color to distinguish your message from the previous one in an e-mail discussion.
