How do I change my font defaults?

Question

My default is Times New Roman 20. I am working on a project where I want to change the font style and size without constantly clicking on it every time I open a doc. How do I then change back if I need to do something else in the midst of the process?

Answer 1

If you have microsoft word 2007, open it, click the "Home" tab if it isn't already in the foreground and set your font as you wish it to be.  In the bottom right corner of the font window is a small icon of an arrow pointing to lower right.  click it to open the font window, then click "default".  It will prompt you that you are about to change the default font, click ok.

Answer 2

   1.  If your document already contains text formatted with the properties you want to use, select that text.

  

2. On the Format menu, click Font.

   3. Select the options you want to apply to the default (default: A predefined setting. You can accept the default option settings, or you can change them to suit your own preferences.) font. If you selected text in step 1, the properties you want will appear in the dialog box.

  

4. Click Default.

Any new document you open will use the font settings you selected.
