Default Why the new default font size (Word 2007)?

Hi Dan,

Is 11pt considered the new 'standard' in the modern day? Even
with formal documents like letters and CVs?

I think, every few years, companies just feel they have to
change things. Otherwise, everything starts to look the same...
and who'd be interested in buying new products :-) Once upon a
time, the default was TNR 10 point. Then they changed it to 12
point. After 10 years, it's just time for a "new look".

Go with what you find agreeable to the eye or, if you work in a
company, what the corporate identity dictates.
