Email - Font Size Distortion

I have not come across any clear answers on this yet so I wanted to find out.

I understand how Outlook works and how it converts to pt. However, is there a way to edit the code so that if I have my font size in Marketo set at 12px that it shows up as 12pt in Outlook?  I don't want to increase the size in the Marketo template because my recipients with Gmail will get email copy that shows far too large.

You can try something like this:

<!--[if mso]>

<style type='text/css'>

.primary-font {

  font-size: 12px !important;

}

</style>

<![endif]-->

Add the above class to where the font is.

Actually I figured out for the template. Thanks again!

Hey thanks! It works on the email editor end. I did try cloning the template to create a new one where I can add this as well but it doesn't save after doing so. Can this not be added on the template end?
