Default Can't change default font size - Word 2007

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.
