By default, the Normal style is the base styles for many other styles.
Hypothetically, you could modify this style. But note that it would be
better, as Charles suggests, to specifically set up your base styles.
This is especially true for versions of Word where there are table
styles, as these (apparently) can acquire the font formatting of the
Normal style if it has been modified.

Does any one know of an easy way to change the default font type in
all Word
styles in MS Word 2003, without going into each style and changin
the font
type item by item?
