    Hey gents,

    I have a couple of questions for you regarding MS Word 2007. Whever I open a new Word document, by default, the font is always Calibri not Times New Roman which I never use. How do I change it?

    Moreover, if I want to reduce the spacing with say Times new Roman, the size AND the font would change consequently which is so annoying and time consuming to change everything back.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    How to change the style of the default font in Word 2007

    To change the style of the default font in Word 2007, follow these steps:

    1. If you do not have a document open, create a new document that is based on the Normal template.

    To do this, click the Microsoft Office Button, click New in the New Document task pane, click Blank Document, and then click Create.
    2. In the Font group, click Fonts.
    3. Select the font, the point size, and any attributes that you want in the Fonts dialog box.
    4. Click Default.
    5. Click Yes when you receive the following message:
    Do you want to change the default font to font name?
    This change will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template.​
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
    8. In the Customize tab, select Commands Not in the Ribbon in the list, and then select Save All.
    9. Click Add, click OK, and then click Save All in the customized Quick Access Toolbar.

    Note If Word prompts you to save the new blank document, click Cancel. If you want Word to prompt you to save the changes to the Normal template, follow these steps:
    1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
    2. In the Advanced tab, click to select the Prompt before saving Normal template check box in the Save group.​
