| 1172542 | 2011-01-25 20:12:00 | I am am using Word 2007 and want to alter the default setting for the font size. It is presently set at 11 and I want to make it 16. How do I reset the default setting? Each time I open a new Word document I want the font size to be 16. Thanks for your help.:thanks |

| 1172543 | 2011-01-25 20:27:00 | Hi Roscoe Go to Home, Font and select the small down arrow at the bottom right. Make your changes and don't forget to click Default at bottom left. |

| 1172545 | 2011-01-25 21:58:00 | Thank you for your help. Scouse: I can see how to change the font and size but cannot see Default at the bottom left. Whereabouts on bottom left, please? Snorkbox: I have done a search and can't find a file called normal.dotx so where do you suggest that I look, please. |

| 1172547 | 2011-01-26 00:03:00 | Been a while since I used 2007 ... are there options on the homepage ribbon such as Normal, No Spacing, Heading 1 ...etc ? If there are, right click on "Normal" and it gives you a menu where you will find a "modify" selection. Change font size in there ... think you have to close and re-open Word for it to become the "default" setting. (or reboot - not sure) | SP8's (9836) | ||

Whereabouts on bottom left, please? On the tool ribbon next to the word Font is a TINY arrow which points down to the right at about 45 degrees. Click on that arrow should bring up a tab called Font. The default button is on the bottom left of that box. Select your font then click that default button. |

(or reboot - not sure) I tried this it works ok but to save it for future documents you will need to tick 'New documents based on this template' at the bottom left of the dialogue box. When I rebooted Word 2007 I found that the home ribbon displayed the font and size that I had modified them to. |
