WORD: Change default font, paragraph and line spacing
in [Page Layout]
|
From: Margy on 8 Jan 2010 00:55 Running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 Enterprise. I need to change the default font to Tahoma; line spacing to single; with no paragraph space on normal style paragrah for new all documents. I have been doing this for years. Open Font Dialogue Box - set font size etc and clicked the dault button and OK. Easy as falling off a log. The same with line space and paragraph spacing setting - Open Paragraph Dialogue box - change settings and click default. This is not working on my Windows 7 HP Notebook. I then thought I would change the Normal Style and set it "For all document based on this template." Will not work. When I open Word again, everything is back to Calibri 11pt, 1.15 line spacing and 10pt spacing after each paragraph. Would be most grateful of any advice to change these defaults. -- Margy Pinetown, South Africa

From: MICROSOFT on 8 Jan 2010 13:15 Doug, I was wondering what program you're using to post this reply? The previous post was not shown and when I read it in Operamail its in a very light font. I've noticed others using this so it must be a pretty common program. > Simply modifying the Normal style for a document based on the > Normal.dotm template works for me. ---------------------------- Hope this helps.

From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 8 Jan 2010 13:33 Open normal.dotm. Go to the Styles pane > Manage styles button > Defaults tab. Make your changes there. Save and close normal.dotm. If you want to use table styles or themes and style sets, leave the normal paragraph style unmodified. Pam Margy wrote: >Running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 Enterprise.
