How do you change your preferences on word?

On Word 2007, how do you change the font, I don't want Calibri body to come up everytime, I want it to permanently be Times New Roman, how do I change those kinds of preferences? Permanent font and paragraph preferences.



New word sucks!How do you change your preferences on word?
To change the default font, do this:



1. Right-click in an empty document and select Font.

2. Select the font you want.

3. Make any changes you want.

4. Click the Default button.

5. Select Yes in the warning box that appears.

6. Click OK.



The Page Setup dialog box also has a Default button that works the same way.



To change the default paragraph style, do this:





1. Create a new document.

2. Click in an affected paragraph.

3. Click the Home tab on the Ribbon.

4. Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Styles section.

5. The style for your paragraph should have a bold box around it.

6. Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow should appear. Click it.

7. Select Modify from the list box.

8. Click the Format button.

9. Make any changes you want.

10. Click OK.

11. Click the radio button for New Documents Based On This Template.

12. OK out of everything.



All paragraphs in the document with that style should adjust themselves.



When you close your document, you may see a warning message asking if you want to save the changes to Normal.dotx. This is an anti-virus measure, intended to alert you that something has changed in Normal.dotx. In this case, you made the change, so you want to accept it.





That should do it.How do you change your preferences on word?
In one of the menus or the ribbon, there's a option that says ';Options...';. In Word 2003, it's under Tools -%26gt; Options.



I'm not too sure, but I'm sure their's something in there that says ';options';.
Pull up the Normal.DOT and make the changes to it. Then save it as DOT. It usually saves as default (.doc) so you will have to watch to make sure it saves at Dot. Then open a new doc and test it.
under the where you can select your text, there is a little title bar that says font. to the right of that there is a little arrow thing. click on it and change your font and hit default.
