When you create a new document, Word uses the Normal template to determine the settings, such as fonts, styles, and margins of the document. If you want to set the default fonts for all new docuements, you need to make changes to the Normal Template. This changes the default fonts for the current document. To change the default fonts in a document, do the following. You can change the fonts and color schemes for every styles in a document, and it’s easy to do. There is a new feature introduced since Office 2007 called Document Theme. You need to change the font for each and every style you want to use. You only need to change the style you want to use and be done with it. A lot of people are suggesting changing the styles to achieve it. I googled the info about how to set the default fonts.
I wanted to set the fonts to the Times New Roman for body and Arial for heading.
There is nothing wrong with the new fonts, it’s just that if you exchange documents with someone who doesn’t have the fonts, the formatting of the documents might change. When I first created a new document in Word 2008 for Mac, I found that the default fonts are now Cambria for body text and Calibri for heading.
