How to configure the font size and color for replying in Outlook?
Let’s say you set the font size and font color when replying to a message. However, the font size and font color still appear as the default font when replying to other messages. Is there a way to change the default font size and font color, and apply them to all replying messages? Of course, yes! Here we will show you how to configure the default font size and font color for replying step by step.

Step 5: In the new Font dialog box:
- Click the "Font color:" box, and select a color for replying and forwarding messages.
- Click the "Size:" box, and select a suitable font size for replying and forwarding messages.
Step 6: Click the "OK" button in each dialog box to save the settings.
