In Word, Old Default vs. New Default
Good afternoon,
Previously, my MS Word's default font was Times New Roman. When style was Normal, the font was Times. I wrote a large document in this. Corporate guidelines came out that said font should be Ariel. So I modified my normal template to use Ariel. Now the normal style defaults to Ariel. If I change the font to Bookman, the style says Normal+Bookman. Default font in my previously-mentioned large document is still Times (when style is normal, font is Times). When I make the font Ariel (style becomes Normal+Ariel) all is well until I insert a caption under a table or graph. The caption shows up in Times and everything after that is Times. Style shows up as Normal. Is there a way to strip Times as being the normal font in this document? Thanks, Michael |

Thanks, Michael It sounds like when you "modified the template", all you did was apply direct font formatting to the empty paragraph mark, hence the "Normal+Ariel" notation. What you need to do is modify the Normal style: go to Format Style, right-click the Normal style, and click Modify. Change the font in the Modify Style dialog, and check the box for "Add to template". This page may help: http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/stylesms/index.html That change will affect only new documents based on that template. Existing documents must have their styles modified individually, because they're no longer dependent on the template for their style definitions (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/temp...ns/index.html). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Hey,
if you want to change the language not only for one letter or template or what ever, change the word options. There you can choose your favorite style under: Microsoft Office Button and there you find the button word options.

Or for Word 2007, you can do this: Create a blank document. Press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click the Manage Styles button. Click the Set Defaults tab. Choose the desired options. Click "New documents based on this template," and then click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Wed, 05 Dec 2007 21:09:51 GMT, "mj_stev" u39646@uwe wrote: Good afternoon, Previously, my MS Word's default font was Times New Roman.
