unable to change default font
When i change the default font in Word 2007 it keeps reverting back to the
orginal font. I have acrobat 8 as well!! I see from previous replies to other people it seems to be something to do with this but no-one has it for 2007. thanks |

unable to change default font
Open normal.dotm, make your changes and save it again. You will probably
need to add a character to the text space and delete it for Word to see the change and allow a save. Ab inability of Word to save its normal template is usually a problem related to add-ins, however it is Acrobat 7 that is the usual problem, not Acrobat 8 (however ensure that you have applied all the updates to Acrobat 8). Acrobat is not the only add-in that may cause problems. What else do you have loading? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JCS wrote: When i change the default font in Word 2007 it keeps reverting back to the orginal font.

unable to change default font
I have come back again and again to try to customize my Normal.dotm for Word 2007. I think I have tried everything. Several times. Including deleting ALL Normal.* wherever on my machine, and starting anew. When I change from that ugly Calibri font and increase the font to12 points and save the template with the new font, I FAIL every time! It's Calibri , 11 pts in the next new document. I am led to query, why can't MS publish a simple way to customize? Is it cosmology there, or what? Che frustrato! Anyone have a solution, by the numbers? Gracie.

unable to change default font
The style at the cursor is highlighted in the Styles group of the Home tab
Right click the highlighted style (probably Normal) and select Modify Change the font to whatever you require and check the button at the bottom of the dialog for 'New Documents based on this template'. Ensure that in Word Options Advanced Save you have checked the 'prompt before saving the normal template' check box. When you close Word you will be prompted to save the changes. Do so. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Ted Rumme" wrote in message ...
