MS Word 2003 changing default font in all Word styles
Short term the only way would be with a macro.
Long term, set up your styles so they cascade, so that you have a few base styles and all other styles are based on those. Then it is easy to make global changes. Many styles are based on the normal style by default. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

MS Word 2003 changing default font in all Word styles
By default, the Normal style is the base styles for many other styles.
Hypothetically, you could modify this style. But note that it would be better, as Charles suggests, to specifically set up your base styles. This is especially true for versions of Word where there are table styles, as these (apparently) can acquire the font formatting of the Normal style if it has been modified. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Catherine" wrote in message news Does any one know of an easy way to change the default font type in all Word styles in MS Word 2003, without going into each style and changin the font type item by item? |

MS Word 2003 changing default font in all Word styles
Here is a sample of a macro.
Sub ChangeFontVerdana() Dim oStyle As Style For Each oStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles oStyle.Font.Name = "Verdana" Next oStyle End Sub Note, there is a reason for different styles to have different fonts, though. That is why I originally said create several base styles. I have the following hierarchy: Heading 1 based on no style. Each other heading style is based on the style above it. My heading styles are generally sans serif font such as Arial or Verdana. I have a base character style which contains my body text font. I have body text style also based on no style. Body text usually uses a serif font. All other styles (other than headings and normal) which go in the body of the document are based in some way on the body text style. I set normal to be the same as body text except without the interparagraph spacing. I don't use normal, but Word does. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
