Win98se / OfficeXP /Outlook 2002.

When replying to e-mails and wanting to select a given font, I must sort
through about 12 undesired fonts which populate the Font Dropdown list. How
may I clear or reset that list ?

Thanks

Are these fonts that you previously used or the alphabetical list of fonts?
The MRU list can be deleted - it's somewhere in the registry, probably under
Word keys.

They are fonts I've previously used.
They are not arranged alphabetically, but re-arrange themselves based upon
whichever font is currently be selected.

The list contains (in no order of appearance; as they change as per above)
Verdana
Tahoma
Maiandra GD
Haettenschweiler
MachineTibetanFont
etc.

I realize it's somewhere in the registry (if there's no option within
Outlook/Options/ tools to clear that). The question is where... which key.
Slipstick offered no help.

The version I have is Outlook2002 (10.0)

thanks anyway

I should add that using the expression "Word" in the Registry returns some
860 keys. Rather a generic term, if I may say so. Rather akin to using the
word "Computer" in a registry search. Bound to return quite a few hits. :-))

Thank you for your help. :-))

Solution found here:

We may now consider the Dropdown Box Fonts List question closed.

Thank you Diane. :-))
