You haven't explained how you tried to change the settings. The following
procedure should work, though: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles
pane. Click the Manage Styles button. On the Set Defaults tab, specify the
desired settings. Choose the "New documents based on this template" option,
and click OK. If/when you are prompted to save the Normal template, choose
to do so.

We just upgraded to Word 2007 at work, and I'm trying to set up my
defaults.
I can change my default font without any problem, but I can't change the
size. No matter what I try, big or small, the default always reverts to a
font size of 12. Any ideas? Thanks.
