Frequently I need to respond to emails with bunch of inline comments.
Say the email came written in TimesNewRoman-11, and my default font for composing emails is the same. If I use my default font, the inline comments don't stand-out for the person reading my response. So I need to mark all my response lines with a different style, one contiguous segment at a time.
The question is, how can I have Outlook maintain my chosen font style when I click around to type my in-line comments within the (already styled) quote block in the reply?
I don't want to change my default font for that. Is it even possible?
Why not just change the font/colour, etc. in the Outlook ribbon while editing the email? The changes will stick while typing in that email, but won't become your "default" for all of Outlook. It'll change back to your default the next time you compose a new email. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-01-08T15:15:42.307
@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 as soon as you move the cursor to another location in the email I am responding to the style changes back to default – Vikhram – 2016-01-08T15:21:01.110
Ahh, it's because you're putting your cursor into the quoted area, which has a predefined style.. Gotcha! Yeah, I don't think you're going to find a way to avoid that, but who knows. :) One of the tricks I use for this is to copy a single character, that already has the style applied, to the clip board. I then Paste it into where I want to in-line reply, start typing, and then go back and remove the first character (the one I pasted). Sometimes that's slightly faster than using Format Painter on all the lines after the fact. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-01-08T15:28:50.487
I reworded you post a bit to try and clarify what you're asking. If you're unsatisfied, feel free to roll it back and/or apply your own edits. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-01-08T15:34:55.203
