Graham:
i want to change the default font. the normal font in the normal template in
word 2007 is determined by the body font in the theme. i can't change that
directly, using the styles within the document, as far as i can tell.
looking at the fonts within themes in various places it shows up, i can't
find a place to change the default body font.
please advise. in particular, if there is any useful documentation on the
hierarchy of themes, templates, styles, etc., let me know. the things i have
found so far online are not clear and detailed enough for me to understand.

You should be able to do both without physically editing normal.dotm (but in
any case you are looking in the wrong place). The file will be a hidden file
in the folder indicated at Word Options Advanced file locations (scroll
right to the bottom) User Templates which by default will be
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
The default settings for Word are determined by Windows Regional settings.
If you set a country that uses Letter paper, that's what is configured.
However change it from Page Layout Size More Paper sizes set A4 and
check the 'Default' button.
Similarly you can change styles and the fonts they use by right clicking the
appropriate entry.

Hi,
I am running MS Office 2007 on a PC with XP.
I am unable to alter the default template - normal.dotm - I want to
have the default settings for word to be A4 page size and Times new
Roman font.
I cannot find (using the XP search function) an file called
normal.dotm. anywhere on my PC - there are lots of templates in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033, but not the default
template.
I've tried making a new template with the required format, but
wherever I place it it never opens - I alwa=ys get a new document that
is set as Letter and Calibri(body).
I'm obviously missing someting or doing something wrong - any
suggestions as to what or how to achieve what I want to do would be
very much appreciated
