Default Word 2007 Default Font

I'm not sure but using the Font Dialog and the Default command works
for me. It could be the change isn't being saved to your
Normal.template. Click the Microsoft Office Button and select "Word
Options". Then in the Advanced section, locate the Save options and
turn on "Prompt before saving Normal template". Then make your font
change again and exit Word. You should be prompted to save your Normal
template. If you don't encounter this message then let us know and
we'll go from there.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Bob, thanks, that works.

Any idea why the default option that I ge to using the Font dialog
launcher
doesn't work? Is it just a hold over from older versions?

Thanks,

Hi Jay,

If you're using
Home=Styles=Change Styles=Fonts
you're selecting a Font Set for a theme. If you choose one then go
back to the same dialog and set 'default' that should stick.

If you're trying to change the default font for a Word style use
Home=Styles and click the Styles dialog launcher (the square on
the bottom right of the Styles group) then right click on the
style you want to change and select modify. After changing the
font for a style choose the 'New documents based on this template'
radio button at the bottom of the Modify Style dialog. (The
default is to make the change only to the document you're working
on).

I can't get the default font to change in Word 2007. When I pull
down the
dialog box for Font (lower right corner), then pick Default, the
message says
it is going to change the font, just like in previous versions of
Word. But
when I then close Word 2007, and reopen, my new font is not there.

Any suggestions?
