ften times a document needs to be in a specific format to include font type and size. If this requirement is causing you to change the default font in nearly all of your Word 2000, 2002 and 2003 documents, then this tip will save you a great deal of time. Follow the steps below to change the default font in the Normal Template:

  1. Open a new document
  2. Go to Format>> Font
  3. Select the settings that you want for your default font.
  4. Click the Default button
  5. When the popup window appears, it will ask you to confirm this new setting. Click Yes.

The Normal Template is what all new documents are based on when you start Word, or when you click the New Document button.

If you would like to change another template, this is done by attaching the template to a new document before changing the default font. Here’s how:

  1. Open a new document
  2. Go to Tools>> Font
  3. Click the Attach button
  4. Select the template you would like to change
  5. Click the Open button and Click OK
