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!

Word 2007 – Using Change Case & Clear Formatting Commands

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

There are a couple of ways to make formatting easier for you in MS Word 2007 and I am al about saving time and keystrokes!

It isn’t always intuitive where to find everything on the Ribbon in Word 2007 but this should help you out. You could change case and clear formatting in older versions of MS Word and now I will tell you how to accomplish the same thing in the latest version!

To change case in your document, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Home Tab.
  2. In the Font group, click the Change Case command.
  3. Select the case that is suitable.
  4. You can also use the shortcut Shift + F3 to do the same thing.

The command Clear Formatting is very intuitive and does exactly what you think it would.

If, after you have made several formatting changes to a paragraph, you decide that you liked it better before you made the changes, you can reveerse it back to the way you want it very quickly.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Select the paragraph.
  2. Open the Home tab.
  3. In the Font group, click Clear Formatting.

Word will remove all formatting from the selected text, returning it to your document’s default formats.

Remember,  you do not want to use the Undo button because if you have added any text, you run the risk of undoing that as well!
