Default Need help with setting font size and style


I cannot seem to change the font size and type for mail messages. Per
the Help menu instructions I have gone to TOOLSOPTIONSCOMPOSE and
selected 12pt. Verdana - Regular for mail and click OK and Apply and
OK and when I open a new message window the toolbar always shows
Arial, 10? I know I can change the font via the toolbar within the
new message window each time I compose, but why can't I permanently
set it via the TOOLSOPTIONSCOMPOSE and eliminate the need to reset
each time within the new message window?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

Mary

If you are using stationery, some default to a specific font and size.

Tools | Options | Compose. Make sure nothing is checked or selected in the
Stationery section, including Blank.

In IE: Tools | Internet Options | Accessibility. Uncheck: "Ignore font sizes
specified on web pages".
