1-How do I set the Default Font in the Phone Call Journal entry
window?

2-Am I missing something or is there no "Save & Close" button that can
be put on a Phone Call Journal entry window?

1) It should be the same as your default message font.

2) If you don't see it, try resetting the toolbars with View | Toolbars |
Customize.

Sue,

It is the same as my default message font, but I'd like it to be a
different font. Is there any way to do that, other than set each one
individually?

No, Outlook doesn't provide any mechanism for setting different default
fonts for different types of items. You'll have to change it manually for
each item.

So, who do I make my wish known to so it shows up in a future version?
It would be so easy to add, and makes sense to me...if no one else.
My message font is very different from the font I want to use for
notes and things of that nature. Is it just me?

You can send suggestions to mswish@microsoft.com and outwish@microsoft.com.

In the meantime, what about setting the default font to what you want to use
for journal and notes, etc., but then use stationery for your own messages?

Sue,

That's a great solution! Don't know much about stationary though, can
you point me in the right direction?

Tools | Options | Mail Format | Stationery Picker | New will get you
started. If you already have an HTML file you can use it as the template for
new stationery. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/stationery.htm for
examples and tools.

Many thanks for your help. I'll let you know how I make out.

Sue,

Ok, I have the stationary set up as I like it. but now I don't see
where to set the default font for my Journal entries. Sorry to be so
thick on this.

I think we already discussed this. There is only one default font setting,
in Tools | Options | Mail Format. It's the default for *all* items, except
those mail messages that you create with stationery.

Sue,

Again sorry for being so dense, but the font that I have set for use
with the stationary does not come up once I have changed the
TOOLS/Options/Mail Format fonts. Can't figure out what the problem
is.

You might need to adjust your stationery to make sure it specifies the font
you want. Before it might have been defaulting to what Outlook was set for.
ALso check the setting in Tools | Options | Mail Format | Fonts for forcing
stationery to override other fonts.

Sue,

Ok, I've done everything that you suggested and I still have to
manually choose the style as soon as I enter the editor. I have
specified the font I want to use in the stationary set-up section, but
it does not come up when I start to write a message, background comes
up, but the font is wrong, and the font that comes up is not what the
default font is, it's not set anywhere that I know of. Curious, ain't
it?

The fact now that I have the font I want in contacts and the journal,
delights me, and the further fact that my eMail style is just one
click away also delights me. It also delights me that the elimination
of that one click can't be far off! Hey! I'm delighted!

Thanks for all the help!

Can you show a snippet of the HTML for your stationery so we can see how
you're setting the font? An inline style would probably be the best
approach.

I have eMailed you an example of the style I have set for my
stationary. Not really sure what a "snippet" is, or "an inline style"
either.

If you have information to add, please post it in the newsgroup. A "snippet"
is a small portion rather than the whole thing. An "inline style" is one
defined in the HTML source code in a <styles> element.

Sue,

Ok, I must admit that you are talking quite a bit over my head. As I
understand what you are saying and I'll jump to "inline style"
(because I still have no idea what a snippet is - not your fault), is
that there is an HTML page associated with the selection of the
stationary. My question is, "How do I see that code?"

As for "snippet", "a small portion" of WHAT?

Be gentle with me, I'm in completely new territory here.
