How do I get Outlook 2013 quick steps to use a non-default font? For example, Outlook is using Calibri as the default font (which is automatically used in the quick steps), but I want the font in the quick step (and only in the quick step) to use a different font.

Quick Steps are simple actions which use existing settings within Outlook to make things "quick". They are not designed for editing messages, formatting font, etc. So, you can not change the font from a Quick Step.

You may want to consider using a macro or a template formatted to your liking. I frequently use templates for recurring emails. It's quick and easy preformatted message available any time.

After reading the Microsoft related forum of Jay Knight and some experimenting I found out that the font can be defined in NormalEmail.dotm (in %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates).

I editted my Normal.dotm (also in %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates) in word and saved it as NormalEmail.dotm.

I found below method on a related Microsoft forum topic.

The answer is found in a post by Jay Knecht, the essential part to change the font of the Quick Step is:

In Word, go to File > Options > Advanced > General (section) > Web Options > Fonts (tab) and changed the Proportional Font

For some reason the Quick Step uses the font set under Proportional Font in Word.

I just thought I would pass this along because I have previously done this but was searching for how to do so again. You can change the font used by quick steps emails.
