To change the font, style, and size of text

You can change the way the text looks for all your messages or you can make changes to selected text within a message.

To change the text style for all messages

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Compose tab, and then click the Font Settings button.

To format text within individual messages

1. Select the text you want to format.

(To change the font for an entire message, click the Edit menu, and then click Select All.)

2. On the formatting toolbar, click the buttons for the options you want.

Notes

• If you have trouble formatting, make sure HTML formatting is turned on by clicking the Format menu in a new message window and then clicking Rich Text (HTML). A black dot appears by the command when it is selected.
• When you use HTML formatting and the recipient's mail or news program does not read HTML, the message appears as plain text with an HTML file attached. The recipient can view the attached file by opening it in any Web browser.
