Can't change font in auto-signature

[Guest]

I've searched carefully for an anwer in 2 forums:
I'm in Outlook 2003. I am composing new messages in HTML. I used to have
my signature in Georgia at 13 point font. I just want to go to 12 point.
In New messages autosignature keeps opening in the old 13 point. Here's
what I've tried.

I've tried:
1. Clearing the signature field in the signature editor, and starting over
re-creating my signature. It Still displays in 13 pt !!
2. Putting a blank line above the new signature, as suggested by other posts.

I don't know what else to do to get the font to respond. Thanks in advance
for your help.

Well, if I had waited for a reply from the MVP's, I'd never have found the
fix. I don't understand why the MVP's aren't talking about the option:
"using MS Office Word 2003 to edit" under the Mail Format tab ?? If that is
checked (as it was in my situation), then the auto-signature is going to
assume the font of the default font in Word ! You have to either uncheck
"Using Word to Edit," or re-set the default font in your Word program . . .
