changing default font in word 2010

13 years ago

I have word 2010 and have found the instructions below for changing the default fonts to Courier New 12. I follow the instructions and it does NOT save as default. The wording is different in the final choice. #5...on mine says "all documents based on the normal template?" I have W7. Any suggestions?

How to change the style of the default font in Word 2010

To change the style of the default font in Word 2010, follow these steps:

In the Font group, click the Font flyout.
Select the options that you want to apply to the default font, such as font style and font size. If you selected specific text, the properties of the selected text are set in the dialog box.
Click Set As Default.
Select the All documents based on the Normal.dotm template? option, and then click OK.
