How to setup a default font in Excel

[Enchantnet]

I'd like to have Excel use say, Ariel 10pt as my default
font but want Word to use Times New Roman 12pt as my
default font. How do I do this for each particular app?

Thanks.

In excel:
Tools|Options|General Tab|Standard Font and size.

In Word:
Format|Font|Font Tab
There's a button "Default" at the bottom that you can click after you've changed
the font to what you want.

But I had trouble with that in xl97.

I actually had to open my Normal.Dot (standard template for new documents).
Hit ctrl-A (to select everything)
Format|Font
Save normal.dot
