To prevent you from accidentally setting a new default font and text size, Word 2007 will first display a confirmation message: " You are about to change the default font to, , - Do you want this change to affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template?". Once you have finished customizing your default font settings, click on the " Default" button in the lower left corner of the Font dialog:. Notice that Word 2007 includes a Preview pane at the bottom of the dialog, which lets you see in real time the changes you are about to make to your default font and text settings. You can then go further, and configure the default text color, text effects, etc. As soon as you do, Word 2007 will open the " Font" dialog: choose a font family (font face) you want as default from the Font scroll box, a Font style, and a text Size you also want set as the default setting. To access and change your default font settings, click on the tiny arrow button in the font and text portion of the Home tab, as shown on the screenshot below:.
(If you already had a document open, these two settings may reflect the opened document font and text size choices, not the default for Word 2007.)
If you just opened Word, you will see a dropdown menu indicating the current default font family setting, with the name of the font face preselected likewise, you will see the current default text size for new documents inside the dropdown menu next to the font dropdown. Once the program has opened, make sure that the " Home" tab is currently selected (it should be by default).
First, if needed, start by launching Microsoft Word 2007.
