Changing Default Font
When Word is opened it shows the default font as Times New Roman.
Like Excel General tab there is an option for changing default font. But in Word I couldn't find such an option ? Can you please tell me the option ? Mahendra Raj, Coimbatore |

Changing Default Font
I have tried all the suggestions in your
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm, but still cannot stop MS Word 2003 from immediately reverting to Times New Roman as soon as I start typing. Even if I select the typed text and try to reset the font/size/bold/colour that I want, it immediately reverts as soon as I type. This behaviour seems to have started only since I had to completely reinstall Office 2003. I hope you have an answer for this as it's driving me crazy! "Suzanne S.

Changing Default Font
Did you use Format, Font and click on the DEFAULT button at the bottom of
the dialog? When you then closed Word, did it not prompt you to save changes to the global template? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "freded" wrote in message ...

Changing Default Font
Hi Terry,
Yes, I did that: Format, Font, Default. Word then asked if I wanted to "...change the default font to "XXXX"? This change will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template." But it doesn't! In any new document, as soon as I start typing, it reverts to Times New Roman, in spite of initially showing my desired font in the Styles and Formatting toolbar.

Changing Default Font
Open the Normal template (normal.dot) as a document. Select the blank
paragraph and press Ctrl+Q (to reset paragraph formatting) and Ctrl+SpaceBar (to reset font formatting). If you see the correct formatting at this time, save and close the template. To open normal.dot as a document, you can search for it in Windows (be sure to search hidden files and folders). Right-click the file that you found, and then choose Open from the context menu. See also the "To make other changes" section in the article at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...alTemplate.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "freded" wrote in message ...
