how can I change the default font in MS Word new document ? It always comes
on with Times New Roman font, but I want it to be Arial ( or something else)
as a default whenever I open a new document.
thanks , RW

Hi jim

Within Word go to Format | Font and in the box that opens choose the font
you want as default. Then down the bottom of that same box on the left
you'll see a button called Default... click that and it will make your
chosen font the default.

That did it !!
I thank you very much Greg and purplegrl
