I suspected that is the case (in both 'problems').

Is there no way to stop Word/Outlook etc from doing this, without modifying
the styles? What happens if we receive a doc from a client and they haven't
changed the styles in it - the same problem exists.

Thanks

For existing documents, you can modify the Normal style, as Suzanne
suggested.

To change the default font for new documents, you can use the Font dialog;
choose the desired settings and click the Default button.

For Outlook, use Tools | Options to set the desired font options.

Hiya,

Is there any way to stop Word (and Outlook for that matter) from jumping
between fonts automatically.

I've set a couple of documents to Arial size 10, but sometimes when I hit
return it reverts to Times New Roman size 12. The same happens in Outlook.

Also, when copy from a to b where the font is different, can I force
Office
apps to preserve destination formatting all the time?

Thanks
