Morning All, I think I have asked this before and either - not had a clear answer that worked or I missed it completey amongst the responses. Outlook email response (HTML, not text) I want 'any' response to 'any' email to 'always' be a specific paragraph style. Currently every email response is 0 pt and 0pt, that needs to be changed. By the way, 'Set as Default' isn't the answer. Cheers. Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question. As far as I know, this can not be done by default. You have to setup your Normal Style the way you want it and then select/apply it to each reply. And even then, some replies "hijack" the Normal style. (If you ever find a better way, please post the solution). https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/message-reply-paragraphing/7d1cc1bf-0627-43ed-ae2e-1c69ddc1bf5d https://forums.slipstick.com/threads/92798-normal-style-changes-when-replying/ 10 additional answers Anonymous 2025-04-22T12:59:03+00:00 A screenshot of the VBA error would be helpful. In the line: Set objStyle = objEditor.Styles.item(objStyleName) objStyleName is a variable that was defined earlier as objStyleName = "Custom Style 1" So if you created your new style with exactly that name (case sensitive), you should not have to change anything. 0 comments No comments A screenshot of the VBA error would be helpful. Anonymous 2025-04-22T10:00:39+00:00 OK thanks, I tried the process in the article (to the tee) but I got an error with the VBA line. being.... Set objStyle = objEditor.Styles.item(objStyleName) And this is using the name - 'Custom Style 1' I assume the code they provide still needs to be changed even if you use their example - Custom Style 1? I'm very interetsed in getting this working. Cheers 0 comments No comments

But it requires an Outlook VBA Macro. https://www.codetwo.com/admins-blog/set-email-reply-format-automatically/ If you don't already know how to write Macros (and do a Self Sign Cert, all the Security settings, etc.) then it's probably more trouble than it's worth. https://www.slipstick.com/developer/how-to-use-outlooks-vba-editor/ 0 comments No comments There is a way that works.

Outlook like so much MS gear these days, is full of pointless bloatware addons etc... and forgets why it even existed in the first place. It's just like taking a whole traffic lane away to service the 3 bicycles that use it everyday - it looks good but actually doesn't add value.
