Hello:

Everything in my Outlook uses html. I have my reply to settings to indent
and say "I said" at the start of the indent. I would like to change the font
and format of my inline responses. I can't find this setting anywhere. I
thought maybe it was a Word Style but everything shows up as Normal.

Where can I find this setting?

Thanks.

Outlook will always reply using the format of the original message, so your
having HTML selected for when you compose a new message won't apply to your
replies. If the reply is not in the format that you wish it to be and
doesn't use the fonts you want, you'll have to manually change that format
and those fonts.

Thanks for the response. So if someone sends me a message from, say, Outlook
and they have decided to use 14 point Bookman, then my response will be in
14 point Bookman? What is it that decides to make the response both bold
and italic? Is that the sender's formatting or mine

In general, yes.

If you're replying, I'd say that the sender's settings tend to obtain, but
there are always exceptions. Stationery can affect it as well.
 
Thanks. I'll play around with it.

Hello Brian,
In general, yes.

I've been trying to figure this out myself for a couple of days. Go to Tools -> Options-> Mail Format-> Stationary and Fonts -> Personal Stationary. Under "replying or forwarding messages", select the font you want to use.

And we care why about a disconnected thread where you don't bother
providing context? post your replies back in whatever thread you were
discussing the problem. This is Usenet, not a chat room filled with
the prattle of disconnected posts.

Nicole's message *was* posted as a reply to the existing thread, so the
header did have a references line referring back to the previous message
but she needs to learn
that as well as quoting the relevant context one ought to leave in the
subject line a reference to the subject line of the existing thread. If
changing a thread subject line, it is handy to say something like "Yes You
Can (was Change Inline Reply Font -- Outlook 2007)", so that folk can find
the original if they are interested, but in this case it apparently didn't
make sense to change the subject line.
