[Herb[_2_]]

Vista 32
Office 2007 however I save many documents in Word 97

I have created a new word (Word 97) template using font Arial and size 12.
When I open that template it's title is "mine.dot" until I save it as a W97
i.e. "etc.doc". However, if I open that document that has been created using
this template, highlight all, then delete the contents, the font/size reverts
to Calibri/11 for any new text I type into that document; that is it doesn't
retain the original font/size of Aial/12 as per the template used.

Also using "Help" - Create a new template step 5 my Word does not show
"Favourite Links"

Plse advise as I am getting tired of changing the font/size each time I use
the same template based document.
