Change the default Font
You have to change it in your Normal.dot. Find where Normal.dot is stored on
your computer. Open it, make whatever changes, font style, margins etc. Press Save. Next time you go into Word you should see your changes. A quick way to find your Normal.dot is to click on TOOLS, OPTIONS, FILE LOCATIONS, see where it says USER TEMPLATE? That's your Normal.dot. See where it says it's located. Probably in C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\templates. Hope this helps.

Change the default Font
I would never use Comic Sans as my default font, I might set up a template
that used it as the default, though. See http://www.addbalance.com/word/defaultfont.htm for information on how to change your default font.

Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "AmyP" wrote in message ...
