You can change your default font for messages in Outlook Web App, previously called Outlook Web Access, in the Message Format section of the Options page. The message font options you select automatically apply to the body of messages you compose in Outlook Web App. You can also use the text-formatting toolbar while composing a message to change the format and appearance of your text. If you use Microsoft Exchange, your system administrator can restrict and change the default settings in Outlook Web App.
