Howdy Folks,

I would like to make it so that Word defaults to Body Text instead of
Normal for the default style. I read that using something besides Normal
can be wise for a long document, but I would like to make it more
automatic than having to specify Body Text all the time. i did some
googling but did not come up with anything. Is this advisable? Is this
possible? Thanks in advance.
