How do you change/save settings for the default document that opens in Word 7? - MMUGurl
Posted: Mar 14, 2010
I just installed MS Word 2007 & (an upgrade from 2002). I want the default document to be in a particular color & I can't seem to get it to work. I know I can just change the Page Color in Print Layout once the document opens but I want it to be my default color for every document & not have to make that change each time I open a new document. I have tried everything I can think of & I know it shouldn't be this difficult (& very well may not be) but I am just not getting it. LOL. I am just wondering if this is even possible?!? I do not like working with the default white background. It just does';t work well with my eyes.
If you know how, would you be so kind to give me step x step directions as I am quite unfamiliar with this program at this point. I would be so very appreciative. Thank you.
Hope these instructions work - Janie
[ In Reply To ..]Instructions are below, but in case it does not transfer very well into the MTStars post, you can find the same information using the Word HELP option:
Using the Word HELP Search (top tool bar, right side – Question mark in blue circle):
Type in: page color change default
Word
To change the overall look of your Office Word 2007 document, you change both the theme and the style (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) set. You can then set this as the default for all new documents. In Word 2007, the look of a style set is so closely tied to the fonts and colors used in the theme that the theme fonts (theme fonts: A set of major and minor fonts that is applied to a file. Theme fonts, theme colors, and theme effects compose a theme.) and theme colors (theme colors: A set of colors that is used in a file. Theme colors, theme fonts, and theme effects compose a theme.) can be changed both on the Home tab in Change Styles (Styles group), and on the Page Layout tab in the Themes group where you can also change the entire theme.
- Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click New.
- Under Templates, click Blank and recent, and then under Blank and recent, double-click Blank document.
- On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles, point to Style Set, and then click the Quick Style set that you want to use.
The gallery of Quick Styles changes to reflect the new Quick Style set.
- Click Change Styles again, point to Colors, and then choose the colors that you want to use.
- Click Change Styles again, point to Fonts, and then choose the fonts that you want to use.
- To adjust the paragraph or line spacing before setting the default theme, see Adjust the spaces between lines or paragraphs.
- Click Change Styles again, and then click Set as Default.
On the Page Layout tab, the buttons in the Themes group update to reflect your changes.
Hope this helps.
I still can't get it to save the color - MMUGurl
[ In Reply To ..]Thank you SO much for the very detailed steps. However, I still can't get the color to "stick". :( I feel like I am doing exactly as the steps detail but somehow when I open a new document it is still the white background. :( I HAVE to be doing something wrong. I will just keep working at this.... It really should not be this difficult. LOL
Again, thank you so very much.
you need to change it in the Normal.dotm template so all - SM
[ In Reply To ..]new documents have the theme you want. If you're using a different template, change it in that file.
