F ORMATTING A M ESSAGE  D ISCUSSION

HTML is the default message format for Outlook 2016 and a text editor based upon Microsoft Word 2016 is used. This means that your messages can include all the rich formatting and features that both HTML and Word offer. Within the e-mail editor, special font effects such as strikethrough and features such as AutoText and spelling and grammar checking as you type are available as you compose your messages. However, the message recipient may not be able to view the formatting if their e-mail service only accepts plain text.

NOTE You can also format message text using the options in the Basic Text group on the Message tab or the Font group on the Format Text tab.
