Do you have an Outlook.com account? Well, if this is the case, you should also ask yourself another simple question, which is Do you like the color and font you use to write messages to your friends? ANDn based on what you answer with these 2 questions that we have suggested will be what you could be doing from now on.
This article aims to be able to modify the options that come by default in this Outlook.com service, but when writing a specific type of message. Both the type of font and its color will be the objective that we have set ourselves to execute, something that is very easy to do and that does not require a great experience as advanced computer scientists.
Customize the font of our written messages in Outlook.com
Through a few steps that we will suggest below, you will have the possibility to modify the parameters that we have indicated from the beginning. You may not know it, but the type of font used when composing an email message is «gauges«, Which does not necessarily have to be the predilection of all who use this email account. Microsoft has installed 9 type of fonts in total, the user being the one who must choose which of them to work with using the keyboard shortcut CTRL extension +Shift+f, at which time each of the sources we mentioned will appear.
Now if we are never going to use the Colibri font type and would always love to work with the Garamond instead, then we should set the latter as default, this so that we are not changing at every moment from one typeface to another. The only thing you need to do to achieve this goal is the following:
- We open our Internet browser.
- We go to the official site of Outlook.com.
- We enter the respective access credentials (username and password).
- Now we will find ourselves within the Outlook.com service
- Once here, we do click the little gear wheel located in the upper right part of the interface.
- We chose «Options»Of all those shown there.
All we have done is enter the general configuration of Outlook.com, where we will find a large number of options to handle; so for example, right here there are elements that we could use when:
- Manage the account.
- The way we will write our emails.
- Options to personalize our email reading.
- Effective handling of spam email.
- Alternatives to customize Outlook.com.
In each of these options there are additional ones, which we could choose depending on the need that we have to work in a personalized way with our email client.
Of all the areas that we mentioned above, the one that interests us at the moment is the one that is in the «Way of writing our email»; right here we must select a very important function, which is the one that says "Format, font and signature".
Having selected this link, we will jump to a window immediately, where 2 perfectly well identified fields are distributed. The one we are interested in customizing at the moment is the one at the top (message source).
If we select the icon that we have shown in the previous image, immediately the fonts that are installed will appear by default by Microsoft. Our objective from the beginning was to vary it, being able to use the Garamond only as a demonstrative example.
Right here there is another additional element, which we have also pointed out and is at the top. If we select it a small color palette will appear, having to choose the one with whom we want to work from now on.
Any change that we make will be effective immediately, which means that both the type of font and the color will appear as a small sample of what we will obtain if we want to work in this way.
If we agree with everything we have done, it only remains to have to select the blue button that says "save"; With this, all changes will be registered and we will be able to start working according to the modifications we make in Outlook.com.
