What version of Word? See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm for Word 2003 and earlier. For Word 2007, you should change the document (or template) defaults in the Manage Styles dialog. -- Suzanne S.

In that case you're best advised to change the font on the Set Defaults tab
of the Manage Styles dialog, which is accessed via a button in the lower right corner of the Styles window/pane. You can set the defaults for a given document or for all new documents based on the given template. -- Suzanne S.

There is a box for font size on the Set Defaults tab as well.

Suzanne: this is getting curiouser & curiouser, as Alice used to say. The
link you gave me, which claims it covers all Word 2004 and earlier, doesn't. I've been using Word since Word 95, and I know the Standard Toolbar where you set up your fonts from Format. Word 2003 (which my control panel assures me is the one I have) has the new toolbar system, where Home, Insert, Page Layout, etc, each have their own assembly of sub-toolbars. And in THAT system, I have Change Styles (not Manage Styles) as a subset of Home, and it works as I described in my previous reply. Will appreciate any further help you can give me. ingrid "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote What version of Word? See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm for Word 2003 and earlier.

If you have that layout, then you have Word 2007. You may also have Word
2003 installed, but what you are viewing, if it has the Ribbon, is Word 2007. And if it's Word 2007 then you access the Manage Styles dialog as described: click the dialog launcher arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group (below Change Styles; do NOT click the arrow on the Change Styles button) on the Home tab to open the Styles window, then click the Manage Styles button in the Styles window; it is the third button from the left in the bottom left corner. In the Manage Styles dialog, choose the Set Defaults tab. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "weekend" wrote in message ...

Suzanne: thanks for your patience. Got it. Don't ask me how I got Word 2007,
because I don't know and neither does my Control Panel. Nevertheless, I hope Windows 7 makes the change-default option more findable. Thanks again. ingrid "Suzanne S.

Windows 7 will not change Word 2007, and Office 14 will probably not change
this feature. If this is a new computer, you probably got a trial version of Office 2007 on it. I don't know what Control Panel has to do with showing you what version of Word you have (unless you're looking at Add and Remove Programs), but it's possible to have both 2003 and 2007 running side by side (I do). In any case, I *think* you can change the default font the same way in Word 2007; that is, I think that using the Default... button in the Font dialog changes the document defaults rather than Normal style directly, so it would be okay to do it that way, too. -- Suzanne S.
