I began my first new document with the new MS Word 2007. What
immediately strikes me is the default fonts used for the styles:
Headings use Cambria font and Body text Calibri.
What I have learned is that serif fonts are better in body text and sans
serif in titles. The same is also mentioned in the following article
(which only applies to PowerPoint 2003, though... )
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA011243941033.aspx
Now, Cambria is a serif font and Calibri a sans serif, so Word 2007
suggests the exact opposite than what has been found to be the best
practice! Has anyone else noticed this or any reasons why this is so,
except that no-one really cares?
