type stuck on Bold

Format - font will change the type and size, but seems to be stuck on Bold,
in emails. It works in Word.
Nothing I try works. It always used to work.

Any ideas please?

 

Mentioned this before, but it always pays to mention what program (email
client) and operating system you're using - but... we know you're using
XP, Outlook Express Just as well huh.

From memory, the *size* of displayed e-mails is inherited from IE (the
zoom). This can make stuff *look* like it's bold.

However, I *presume* you're talking about a *new* e-mail (you want to
send an e-mail to someone). Check the settings per this pic - ie make
sure the default Style is Normal. That's about all *I* can think of.

The other thing that spring to mind, is "Stationery". I don't recomend
you use it; it unecessarily increases the size of sent e-mails, and
tends to look bloody horrible anyway. However if you do use it, it will
override font settings (as it uses whatever it uses itself).

If you use the Stationery "feature" - turn it off, and try like that.
Hopefully, you'll never turn it back on again - and your e-mail
recipients will love you for it as well

 

Thank you. I looked at the website but couldn't understand it.
I think the computer man had better have a look at it.

It's odd that Format font works on Word but not on emails. It will change
the type and size but not Bold.

An idle thought ... it might not be the font but how you are viewing the
font ? Sometimes changing the size can appear to change soem other things
like boldness ?

 

Thank you. I don't think so, as it works on some things and not on others.
I'm getting the computer man out for other things, so he can look at it.
