i get that i can change to defalt font. i get that i can manipulate
templates. i am trying to understand how to work with themes, templates and
styles.

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
