I have Word 2003, I am trying to change the default font, I go to fonts,
choose the font I want (Helvetica) and clidk on default on the left bottom.
When I open a new document, it defaults to Times New Roman, what am I doing
wrong? I have never had this problem previously, only since I've gotten this
new laptop.
Help

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 setting is stored). See
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331259.html for several
solutions to the problem.
