Changing the Default Font in Word 2007

Do you want to change the default font and/or size in Word 2007, which is Calibri size 11, so you don’t have to change it each time?  Here’s how: 

  • From the ribbon on the HOME tab, click on the arrow in the bottom right hand corner of the FONT group 
  • The FONT dialogue box will open 
  • Choose the desired font and size 
  • On the bottom left hand corner of the dialogue box, click on the DEFAULT button 
  • Another dialogue box will open that will ask if you want to save the changes; click Yes 

The next time you open a new document, the font and size you chose will be the default.
