Restart is a no go. going to reinstall and do a clean install this time I'll
report back with my results.

Just a guess, but when you create a new doc in Word the app is aware of the
new settings. Creating a new one in an Explorer window or on the Desktop
only involves Windows, not the app. Have you tried a log out/in or restart
to get the Registry updated? It *may* make a difference - please post back
either way.

Hello all,

When I create a new document with word 2007 by right clicking on the
folder
I want the document to be in and going to file new microsoft office
word
document it will create the file just fine but it will always give me the
font calibri size 11 with a 1.15 line spacing. I need it to give me arial
12pt 2line spacing for school.

I applied the usual method to change the default font of clicking on the
arrow on the fonts section of the home tab and selecting arial and 12pt
then
clicking default and saying yes. I then closed out of the document and
clicked yes to save the blank document. If I open that same document its
still arial 12pt but if i make a new document the exact same way it goes
back
to calibri 11pt.

Now, if I click start create new office document general document
then
the arial 12pt font is the default. Its only when I try to make a
document
with the right click option.

Should I attempt to uninstall and remove all versions of office then
reinstall? This is really frustrating and I have 2 homework assignments
to
do for tomorrow so I can get 2 of my last 4 classes for my bachelors
degree
done and I have no time to keep telling office to use arial font when ive
told it several times what to use for a default font. Are there any known
solutions to this yet?
