Outlook 2003 Notes

Change Default Notes Font

SUMMARY: Change the default font of Outlook 2003 Notes from Comic Sans to something else.

Normally, Outlook 2003's Desktop Notes use a 10 pt. version of the Comics Sans MS Font. This font is the standard, as it looks more like hand-written text than Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, or the like. However, if you'd rather use one of those fonts or a different one of your choosing, do the following:

1. Click "Tools" - "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select "Preferences".
3. Click "Font".
4. When the "Font" dialog box appears, choose your font name, point size, color, style, and effects.
5. Press "OK" on the two dialog boxes to close them.
