CHANGE DEFAULT FONT IN MS WORD 2007

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

The default font in MS Word’s Normal template is Calibri 11. I like it myself, but lots of folks do not.  Change is always painful, but I prefer to try something for a while before I make my decision. But if you are one of those folks who knows immediately whether you love or hate something, this tip is for you.  If you are married to Times New Roman you can certainly have it your way!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. On the Home tab, click the Styles group button to open the Styles window.
  2. Click the Manage Styles button.
  3. Select the Set Defaults tab.
  4. Scroll to and select the font you would like.
  5. Under Size, click 12.
  6. Select New Documents Based On This Template.
  7. Click OK.

Now, when you open a new document it will have your favorite font and you will not have to reinvent the wheel every time!

WordPerfect Default Tabs

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

2. July 2008 by Carol.

 

Someone wrote to me recently very upset about the fact that her tabs were no longer set to a half inch in WordPerfect.  It was driving her nuts and she wanted her half inch tabs back again.

Luckily, I had a resolution for her and she didn’t go mad!

There are two ways to accomplish this task:

  • From the Menu bar, click on Format | Line Tab Set | Default | OK.
  •  From the Ruler, click just below the gray horizontal line just below the Ruler and select Default Tab Setting.

To restore all tab settings in your document to the default half inch tab setting, click on  Edit | Select All or use the shortcut CTRL + A to select the entire document before following the above directions.

Thank goodness this was an easy fix and the poor woman could settle down!
