We are having sporadic issues when using a reply signature. One of the
problems is that is changes one line of text from arial to times new roman.
the other issue is that it will put extra carriage returns in the signature.
Any suggestions??

For the first problem, you might try putting a blank line at the top of the signature, so that it isn't affected by the format of the message where it's being inserted.

For the second issue, end lines with Shift+Enter, not Enter.

When I reply to an email, my first problem is that it uses the senders font
(plain text), but I would like to respond in HTML...how do I do set this
automatically? My second problem is that addition spaces (or double spacing)
are added in my signature when I forward/reply to an email,(but not on new
emails). What setting do I set that the spaces are NOT inserted automatically?

Outlook has no setting to do that, and many senders who use plain text would take offense at receiving a reply in HTML.

As I said earlier, the easiest solution is to use Shift+Enter instead of Enter to end each line of your signature with a line break instead of a paragraph break.
