I have the same problem. If I change the default font to something other
than Times, next time I start Word it reverts back to Times! This never used
to happen.

At the moment, when I start to type in a new document, the font is
automatically Times Roman, when I would much prefer to use the Font
Arial.
How do I change it? It's no use altering the default setting, for
example.
