changing original settings of MS Office

Dear group,

I have bought the Microsoft Sudent and Home version Office and
installed it on my machine. The software comes with following styles.


Style: Normal
and
Font: Calibri 11


I want to change this option to


Style: No Spacing
Font: Times New Roman 12


for all future documents. I tried doing that but always the new
documents do start with the original settings i.e. "Normal and
Calibri 11".

I "DO NOT WANT" to create a new template, but want to make the changes
in the original icon/installation/template for the new style i.e.
Times New Roman 11, and Style: No Spacking.

Can someone please help me out.


While installing the software did not give me any option of about
default settings.


Thanks in advance

FileOpenNormal.dot.

Make the changes you want, and FileSave.

Subsequent FileNew commands should open the changed Normal.dot, and give
you the desired settings.

On the Ribbon bar to the right of the word Font where the fonts are selected
is a small downward right pointing arrow. Click on that. In the font menu
box that appears choose your new default font and size. Click the word
Default in the lower left corner and answer Yes to the warning that pops up.
Ok out and from then on, unless your Normal.dot template file becomes
corrupt and it has to be replaced you should always have that as your
default font in Word.

Any posts in the future please state the operating system being used and the
version of Office the question is being referenced to. The only reason I
answered for Office 2007 is that is the default type style in Word for
Office 2007.
