MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / October 2007Change default
I've got Word 2007. The default seems to be Calibri 12 and Bold for text. I've tried to change it, but I can't find the location, especially I do not want bold as default. How should I do it? Thanks Essentially the normal paragraph style is the default and this can be modified like any other style in any Word version. Right click the style on the home tab and whatever changes you make ensure that you check the radio button 'New documents based on this template'. Save the normal template on exiting Word. Note that 2007 has rather more complex style set arrangements than earlier versions which you may wish to explore.

The current style is to the right of centre and is highlighted. Right click that highlighted style.

The easiest way to do this is through the Font dialog box. On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the Dialog Box launcher (arrow in the bottom right corner), make your desired changes, and then click Default at the bottom.

How should I do it? >> Thanks Take a look at the tabs across the top of the application window below the Title bar (most likely blue) and find the one named "Home". Click that tab to make sure it is selected. Then look across the bottom of the Ribbon (the large item stretching across the top portion of your screen that contains the tabs) and find the one named "Font". Each "box" of buttons is called a group. It's the second one from the left. Then in the bottom right corner of the Font group, click the small arrow. This should open the Font dialog box. Failing the above, press Ctrl+Shift+F which are keys on the keyboard that you need press at the same time -- don't release the keys until you press all three.

The fonts group is the second section from the left - clue: It says Fonts at the bottom of the section. In the bottom right hand corner of this group there is a tiny arrow. Click that!
