explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android is getting a new feature that allows users to choose fonts while composing emails. This update will also enhance the way fonts are displayed when reading emails. Think of it like getting a new set of paintbrushes for your art project; it gives you more tools to express yourself and make your work stand out.

Starting in mid-November 2024, and expected to be completed by early December 2024, this feature will be available worldwide. Once implemented, users can select different fonts for emails, signatures, automatic replies, and calendar invitations. It's similar to being able to choose different styles of handwriting when writing a letter, making your communication more personal and tailored to your style.

Organizations may want to inform their teams about this new feature and update any relevant training materials or documentation. This is akin to a company introducing a new dress code; everyone needs to be aware of the change and understand how to apply it in their daily routines.

For those managing IT or training resources, it's a good idea to prepare for this update by familiarizing yourself with the new font options and considering how they might be used effectively within your organization. This way, when the rollout is complete, your team will be ready to take full advantage of the new capabilities.
