Best practice for setting default font settings in Word 2007
Could anyone tell me what Microsoft's "Best Practice" is for a company to
change the default font settings in Word 2007? For example, if I wanted to change the default font to Times New Roman for all new documents and push this out to the company - does best practice remain the same as in Word 2003? Or has it changed with the inclusion of the default document settings and themes? Thanks so much! |

Best practice for setting default font settings in Word 2007
I am not sure how you did it in Word 2003, but in either case, I would not
rely on customizing the Normal.dot template. You should create separate templates for your company documents that are configured with the Styles that you want to be used and then distribute those to your users. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks, Doug - would you use style sets then since they are saved as separte
templates along with the document defaults? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: I am not sure how you did it in Word 2003, but in either case, I would not rely on customizing the Normal.dot template.
