Outlook 2011 For Mac | Formatting Issue

04. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hi All,

I am using mac pro with OS X version 10.9.2 and Outlook 2011 version 14.3.9.

I am having a few issues with the fonts while using outlook:

  1. I have created a default signature using Calibri font with size as 16. This is the default signature to be applied for all emails (new & replies). I use HTML format for all my emails. However I noticed that when a new email is drafted, all goes well and the signature looks good. However while replying to emails, I noticed for some emails the font changes to Times New Roman automatically and for some the Font Size Changes (font still remains as Calibri). I tried setting the default font, signature etc; but no luck. Any idea what could be the problem and how can I fix this?
  2. When sending an email from Mac, the users having a windows environment receive my email with different font sizes and formatting. Any idea what could be the problem and how can I fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

Change default font for replying

How do I change the default font so that when I reply to an email it automatically sets it to Calibri instead of Times New Roman.

This works sometimes but not always.

Also when I add an email signature it changes the font to Times new roman, even when I specify it to be Calibri, which is terrible.

Thanks

How can I change the default font for Indian languages like Malayalam in Windows Live Mail? It seems that WLM does not share the font settings of IE.

How do I remove a default font selection in Outlook.com?

03. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
In Outlook.com, the Options screen has a "Formatting, font and signature" page that allows you to set the default font for new emails.

I selected one of the fonts to try it out, but then decided I'd rather leave it with the Outlook.com default, which is not to have a specified font at all.

Unfortunately, it appears that there is no way to remove your selection of the default font. Once you have selected a font, you cannot "clear formatting" and go back to composing an email that doesn't have specific <font> tags embedded in the HTML.

Is there any way to solve this problem?

In case this wasn't clear the first time, let me try explaining it another way:

(1) Start with a new Outlook.com account and compose a new email.
(2) While you are composing your email, go to the "Edit HTML" view, and you will see that the HTML code does not contain any <font> tags specifying a particular font. Thus, your email will be displayed in whatever font the reader is using -- you are not forcing a particular font on them. (This is what I want!)
(3) Now, go into the mail settings and change your default font to Franklin Gothic or Verdana or Garamond or whichever one of the 9 options you want.
(4) Go back to the inbox and compose a new email. Go to the "Edit HTML" view and you will see that the email now contains <font> tags specifying your chosen font.

I want to undo this selection entirely and go back to the situation described in step (2), where there is NO specified font.

I am NOT looking to choose a different default font. I want to have NO DEFAULT FONT at all -- no <font> tags embedded in the HTML, i.e. the original situation before you select a default font.

This is a very basic feature and should be added immediately.

Larger fonts for composing and reading in Outlook/Mac 2011

Hi-

In hours of searching I have not found a definitive answer to this question.

I am visually impaired,  In Outlook for Mac 2011, is there a way to change the default font for composing, and/or reading mail messages.  I am aware of the zoom and other features, however can there be a change in the default font that does not change the font the receiver of the e-mail sees?

Thank you.

How can I magnify text appearance in email?

22. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags:
When using Outlook on a PC, I was able to set my default font when creating an email message at a specific size, perhaps 12 or 14 point, but then magnify its appearance on my screen so I could read it more easily as the day wore on and my eyes got tired. Now, using MS Office 2011 on a Mac, I can't seem to find a tool that allows this.

I don't want to set a default font at 24 point and then have the receiver get blasted out of his chair by the huge image, and I also don't want to fuss with increasing the point size manually each time I type a message and then force myself to remember to make it smaller before sending. Especially because I'll forget most of the time.

Anyone out there have the magic key to doing this?

I am using WLM12 desktop client. I have set my default font for composing mail to Arial 12. When I paste a link into an e-mail, which I do quite often, it is pasted as Times New Roman 12. How do I set a default font for links pasted into an e-mail? Thx.

The default font on my live mail has suddenly changed to 8point characters even though the font is displayed as 12 point.  The only way I can get the desired 12 point is to create my own Stationery option.  This is cumbersome and I would like to know how to restore to a 12 point default.

Problem with changing default font for messages

18. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the default font for messages in the Preferences of Outlook 2011. Is there some secret? I change it. Close the window. Reopen the window and go to the Fonts tab for Preferences. It's back to Calibri. I've tried changing it, quitting Outlook, relaunching Outlook, and checking the Preferences, only to find that it's reverted to Calibri. I've changed other Preferences, but this one won't take. Please help.

Window 7 64 bit OS, WLM is default email client

 

1. for example at IE and want to send link by emai to another, i can do this by file->send->send by email, then WLM will be called and current link at IE will add to the email. But the link just added as 'text' but not 'url', which user can't just click the link and open it and needed to copy and paste to web browser to open the link.

    any config for this to let user to direct click and open the link? the default email format set as HTML already.

 

2. how to set default font of email? just tried at option->email->compose and seem not all fonts shown (at least can't find common font ike Arial/Times New Roman)

 

Thank a lot
