Do you always use a certain font in your Word documents? If you always find yourself changing the font of your Word documents from Times New Roman to another font, consider saving yourself some time by changing the default font. This affects all documents you create based on the Normal.dot template (or another template, if you have another template open when you make this change).

To change the default font, select Format, then Font from the menu bar. Make all the changes you’d like to font, style, color, size, and any other category you find in the Font dialog box. Instead of clicking OK when you’re done, click the Default button. A message box pops up, informing you of the changes you’ve requested. Select Yes to make the change. If you select No, Word automatically returns you to the Font dialog box where you can make different selections or click OK and save the changes to the current document only.
