Change default paragraph Spacing in outlook emails

Is there a way to change the default line spacing in outlook emails?

I receive a lot of emails each day that are all single spaced and hence much harder to read.

Is there a way to change the default line spacing in outlook to 6pt Before and 0 pt after?

I would like to roll this method out to my team

Dear Stuart Garett

 

Good day!

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help!

Per your description I understand you would like to change the default paragraph spacing, after testing , I found that this may not be directly achieved in the manner you want, however since your Team mates will apply this method it will work with only mail they send and mail sent from non -team members will not have the same spacing set.

 

  • In your Outlook please click on new mail , then in the new window that appears select Format Text, please make sure the cursor is in the body of the mail or else the options will be grayed out.

  • Then select line and paragraph spacing > spacing options

  • Then in the window that appears set the spacing to before 6pt and after 0pt, then select set as default

  • A prompt will appear and please select , all documents based on the NormalEmailtemplate, and click okay.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes. Looking forward to your reply.

I've tried this so many times. It just defaults to normal, for any new email. Outlook just won't remember that I've changed the the default setting.
