Default unable to change default font


I have come back again and again to try to customize my Normal.dotm for Word
2007. I think I have tried everything. Several times. Including deleting ALL
Normal.* wherever on my machine, and starting anew. When I change from that
ugly Calibri font and increase the font to12 points and save the template
with the new font, I FAIL every time! It's Calibri , 11 pts in the next new
document. I am led to query, why can't MS publish a simple way to customize?
Is it cosmology there, or what? Che frustrato!

Anyone have a solution, by the numbers? Gracie.

Open normal.dotm, make your changes and save it again. You will probably
need to add a character to the text space and delete it for Word to see the
change and allow a save.

Ab inability of Word to save its normal template is usually a problem
related to add-ins, however it is Acrobat 7 that is the usual problem, not
Acrobat 8 (however ensure that you have applied all the updates to Acrobat
8). Acrobat is not the only add-in that may cause problems. What else do you
have loading?

When i change the default font in Word 2007 it keeps reverting back
to the orginal font. I have acrobat 8 as well!! I see from previous
replies to other people it seems to be something to do with this but
no-one has it for 2007.

thanks
