Why doesn't the instructions for "Set the default font" work?
I'm using Word 2003. My template font for normal is setup for Times New
Roman, but when I check the font using "Format, Font" it shows it as Times even though it displays it as Times New Roman in the font window. This is true for all my templates. Shouldn't I be able to permanently change the font? |

To change your default font:
Format | Font | select your font and click on Default. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "rafaelina" wrote: I'm using Word 2003.

I did try this but the font doesn't hold. If you go back, Times is still
selected. "rafaelina" wrote: I'm using Word 2003.

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If yes, then the
Acrobat 7.0 Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents Word from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template (which is where the default font information is stored). See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331259.html for several solutions to the problem. rafaelina wrote: I did try this but the font doesn't hold. If you go back, Times is still selected.

I did not yet figure out how to start a new thread. My issue is that I can
not find the normal.dot file in Word 2002. I believe I made some changes to it and would like it back to the default. I should only have to delete it and Word will recreate the default. BUT I can not find it! Thanks for any help, -- Earl "rafaelina" wrote: I'm using Word 2003.

In Word, click on Tools | Options | File Locations, and note the
folder designated for User Templates. That is the folder where your Normal.dot template is stored. In some versions of Office and Windows, the file and folder are hidden, so you have to turn on display of hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer or My Computer by clicking on Tools | Folder Options | View tab | click the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button | OK.

I have a problem which I'm sure has an easy solution. I wanted to set up my
email using Word as the editor. I successfully did that but I have no clue as to how to set all the defaults for text and colors, etc. My theme remains the same but everything else changes when I go to type a new message. I don't know if I'm just plain STUPID or crazy? I don't find a place for setting a default for additional e-mails. "rafaelina" wrote: I'm using Word 2003.
