Trying to change the default font in Word 2007 by going to Font, selecting
the Font and type, selecting DEFAULT. After exiting and re-opening Word, the
default font always changes to Italic type-face even though that was not
selected. Anyone know of this "bug" and how to fix?

Thanks,
Dan

I'm confused -- where do you "select DEFAULT"? Maybe I'm carrying over
a 2003 habit to 2007, but I'd change my default font by changing the
font in the Normal style.

Something new in W2007 is that normal style and the document defaults don't
have to be the same. If that is the case for your document, then changing
the defaults through the direct formatting menu, will not change the normal
style. To fix this, modify the normal style to match the defaults settings,
or modify normal and make its settings the default.

The Default button in the Font dialog box did not work for me in Word
2007 (as it does in earlier versions). I had to open the Normal.dotm
and change it there.
