How to change the default font in Word 2007
I got my hands on a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 this weekend, and so far, I’ve been fairly impressed. But what I didn’t like was the new default font in Word. It just does not seem appropriate for papers that I hand in. So, here’s the easy way to switch back to 12pt Times New Roman, just like the good ol’ days.
- Make sure the “Home” tab is open.
- Go to “Change Styles”

- Select “Style Set” and then “Office 2003″

- Go to “Change Styles” again and choose “Fonts.” Select “Office Classic.”

- Now, just go to “Change Styles” and choose “Set as Default” to have this as your default style.

If you want to change to other fonts, it’s roughly the same procedure, just with different choices for style set and font.

how can the font size be set
By switching the font to Office Classic, it automatically changes it to 12pt. To change it to something else, I’m not quite sure, you probably would have to create your own font style.
