Assuming that you are using Word 2007 or later, do the following: Press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles pane. Click the Manage Styles icon.
On the Set Defaults tab, make the desired changes. Select "New documents
based on this template," and then click OK.

Is there a way to change the font color button in the font group to black
as the default, permanently. I cannot find anything. Perhaps there is a
registry value. There does not seem to be a way to change the normal.dotm
file.

Thanks,

Gordo
