Log on to your computer as Frank and then start Word. With the blank
document on the screen, select from the Format menu, select Font and then
select the desired font and size and then click on the Default button and
when the message box appears advising you that you are about to change the
default font to , etc. click on the Yes button.
I would suggest that you do not insert page numbers into the normal. dot
template as it can create problems. Better to create a new template that
contains the page numbering that you want and then use that template as the
basis for documents that you want to create with that page numbering.

I want to reset the 'normal' template to default to "Times New Roman"
10point font, and the pages numbered centre top.
This seems to work when I set and reopen Word2003 from the Administrator
Template vis:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
But it will not work when I open Word2003 normally from the desktop.
I have deleted the "Normal.dot" from the following and copied in the
"Normal.dot" from the Administrator above:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.
All to no avail.
Can anyone explain, simply as to a 5 yo, how to change the template
settings?
Desperate, Frank
