Word displays the Modify Style dialog box.

Make sure that the Normal style is selected in the list of available Styles.

Choose the Style option from the Format menu.

If you are using an older version of Word (Word 2000 or Word 97) then you need to make your default change to the template itself by using these steps:

Close the Styles and Formatting task pane.

Use the controls in the dialog box to specify the font you want.

Click the Format button and choose Font.

Click the down arrow at the right of the style name and choose Modify.

Scroll through the list of styles until you can see the Normal style.

(Choose Styles and Formatting from the Format menu.)

Display the Styles or Styles and Formatting task pane, depending on your version of Word.

(The best way to find these is to use the search capabilities in Word.)

Locate the file Normal.dot on your hard drive, and then open the file in Word.

If Word has already created the default template (again, Normal.dot) then the best way to change the default font is to make your change to the template itself.

If you are asked whether you want to change the default font, click Yes.

(This is what updates the information in the Windows Registry.)

Use the controls in the dialog box to specify what you want as the default font.

Press Ctrl+D to display the Font dialog box.

Type a few letters into an empty document.

If you are using Word 2002 or Word 2003 you can change the default font used for new documents in this manner, assuming that Word has not yet created the default template (Normal.dot): In these later Word versions, there is no default template until you make enough changes to Word's defaults to warrant the creation of the template. The default font used by the program is no exception. In later versions of Word, more and more defaults have been moved away from templates and into the Windows Registry.

In Word 97 and Word 2000 all defaults were stored in the default template, which is Normal.dot. Where those defaults come from depends on the version of Word you are using. When you create a new document, Word bases what that document looks like on certain defaults that it establishes.
