That corrected my problem. Sometimes I am frustrated because this simple answer was not in the Help and the path to the fonts was not obvious until you mentioned it. This is were a lot of design still needs to be done for software, but how many questions can be answered and more will be asked. Thanks Again...

I tried font size from 12 to 11. It never changes. Why? "BillyT4QAMF" wrote: > I have tried this, but Times New Roman still comes up by default.

It's a brand new email message, i have selected "always use my fonts", new mail messages and the font selected is Tahoma 12....but every single time when i create a new mail message it reverts back to arial 10...is there a bug in your code on outlook 2007 as i sure didn't have this issue in the 2003 version.
