Hi Robin,
Here's an idea which, overall, might be the easiest fix for your problem. I found this doing a little googling: Another way to bring a consistent look to all email message text and signature block is to configure Outlook to read and compose all emails in plain text format. This strips out all font styles and design elements to display only the raw text of the email and signature block. Plain text is also a more secure option than HTML, because it won't harbor the malicious scripts and code that hackers sometimes use in email messages to distribute viruses and malicious software. To switch to plain text, click the "File" tab on the main menu ribbon. Click "Options" followed by "Mail." Select "Plain Text" from the Compose Message in This Format options list. Outlook will now send and reply to all emails in basic plain text format.

All, I use a high contrast color scheme of yellow on black (The Windows High Contrast 1 scheme). Sometimes when I'm pasting something from Excel into Outlook, the yellow font is pasted and sent to my recipients. Therefore, to avoid this , I want to select all the text in my email before I hit send, and change the font color to "black" to ensure it's readable by my sighted recipients. I'm finding that selecting font color in Office 2010 is much more difficult and there is not a simple black option as in the past. There seemed to be a small selection of basic colors at the bottom of the color dialog, but many more themes, which I really don't understand. I once selected what seemed to be the basic "black on light background" theme, but the email recipient said my email was hard to read. I'm not sure if that was fluke or if that font color scheme really didn't work. Seems that the only way to get to a true black option is to hit "more colors" then find the black options, which I admit I can only do with the bit of remaining vision I have because you have to click on this odd little circle with the black color sample in it. I'm looking for some basic help with how you have effectively changed font colors in Office 2010. More specifically, I'm wondering if there is a way to use the Hotspot app to memorize the process for me so I can use it in any of the office applications, or at least in Outlook. Any thoughts?
