Are you maybe automatically inserting a signature, removing it and typing
where the signature was?
Try without any signature at all if you have one.

I've had the same thing happen, and it has nothing to do with a signature.
In my case, if I backspace anywhere in a new, reply, or forwarding message -
Outlook automatically changes the font that I'm using to TIMES NEW ROMAN 12,
Black ink.
Since we can't see the field codes, why in the heck does it change the font
arbitrarily??
