Open the normal.dotm file as a document. To find it, you can make use of
Windows search (be sure to search hidden files and folders). Right-click
the
file and choose Open from the context menu. Then make the desired
changes.
When you are done, save and close the file. That should do the trick.

Hi Stefan

I am having the same problem only when I try managing styles it says
that
the default is Arial 11pt (which is what I want) but everytime I open a
new
document it still has my old defaults. I have tried clicking on the
New
documents based on this template but it doesn't seem to help or ask me
to
save.

I have changed the default in every other computer in my workplace and
it
is
only mine that won't change. Could there be something wrong with my
Normal.dot template? If so what can I do to change this (perhaps
create a
new one?)

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.
