Computer Tips

Background:
Sometimes a document must be in a specific format--even down to the font type and size. If these needs are causing you to change the default font for nearly all of your Word 2000, 2002, and 2003 documents, you can save yourself some time by changing the default font in the Normal template.

How To Change the Default Font in the Normal Template

1. Open a new document.
2. On the Menu, go to Format, Font.
3. Select the settings you want for your default font.
4. Click the Default button.
5. When the pop-up appears asking you to confirm that you want to apply the new font to the Normal template, click Yes.

Comments
Don't change the default font color to white. White text on a white background...well, you get the idea.

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