default font

[Samuel Blasco]

I would like to change my normal default font so that when I open Word
the font I prefer is there without me having to change it for every
new document. Is there an easy way to do this. I had no problems with
this when using the PC version of word with windows. I tried creating
a new default template, but that didn't seem to work. Word still
opened up in Normal, then i would have to choose that template. Any
help would be appreciated.
thanks
sam

Hi Sam,

Just change your Normal template. You can do that directly by opening it
(Microsoft Office folder> Templates folder), making the change and doing a
Save; or you can open a blank, new document (which will automatically be
based on Normal), go to Format>Fonts, change the font and click the Default
button.
