There is no evidence of that happening here. If you change the default font,
you get a prompt to save normal.dot (which is where the change is made) when you close Word in order to write that change to normal.dot. I certainly wouldn't welcome Word making any changes to normal.dot without my express permission. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CyberTaz wrote: Hi Graham- Thanks for the follow-up to my post. I didn't mention that only because in XP and '03 that is no longer the case. Even without the check in place these versions update normal.dot when you click OK in the confirmation box that appears after clicking the Default button. (I'm not sure, but I thought 2000 did the same.) It also does not matter whether you save the currently open file. The default font change goes into effect either way.

Ensure tools options save prompt to save normal.dot is checked and agree to save it when prompted on exit from Word (or SHIFT+File Save All to force a save) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CyberTaz wrote: If you are simply changing the font formatting in a document, that is the only one that will be affected. In order to change the default font go to FormatFont & make the settings you wish. Then click the Default button (lower left corner of the dialog box) and confirm Yes to the prompt. Any new docs you create will have those specs, but any previously created docs will not be changed. HTH |:) "Geoff Barrett" wrote: I am trying to permanently change the size and color of the font. I can do it for one time choice but doesn't seem to want to stay as a permanent change. What am I doing wrong ? |
