Changing font in Word - Julie


Posted: Jul 07, 2011

I know I probably should know this, but I can't figure out how to change the font in Word so that it will come up with the same font everytime it is open.  I have an account that needs 11 and mine is 12, so I have to change it for each report and once in a while I forget and, of course, QA jumps on me for that.  So, can anyone tell me where to go on my computer to change the Microsoft Word font to default to 11 so it will be automatic?  I truly appreciate your help in this.  Thank you in advance.  God Bless.

It's under the Format tab. Then, go to Font.

I leave my Format toolbar up all the time so I can make adjustments as needed. If you want to do that, right click near the top of Word to reveal all available toolbars and check Format.

Thank you, that did it! - Julie

I wrote your instruction down on a sticky note so I will remember it. Again, thanks so much. This will be a big help.

Default Setting For This in Word - MTanon

[ In Reply To ..]
1) Open a document in Word in the font size you want as a default.

2) Open the Format/Font tab from tool bar.

3) At bottom of Font window is a button with the word "Default."

4) Click on this and box will open, will ask if want the default font to be ??(whatever you have in the document you have opened). Click yes (if this is the one you want).

This will then be your default font for every document you open (you can change it any time). But this will save you from constantly changing from a tool bar for every document.

Changing Font In Word While Working
Jul 08, 2013

I don't know if anyone has struggled with this and can help me.  My eyes are getting worse and worse and I need to increase my font for work.  When I work in Word I know I can change the font through the tools but I have to change it manually every time I start a new document.  Is there a way to make it a default size so I don't have to do it to each document?  It is time consuming and (at least for me) sliding the bar to increase is a hassle with multiple files a d ...

I have been applying and studying the "online transcription world" for about 2 months, so I realize I have am a neophyte.

If the companies paid enough, ACTUALLY had work when they hire, were able to ACTUALLY pay the employees at all,  and treated employees well, then the transcriptionists wouldn't go looking for another job and leave.  THEN the companies wouldn't have to maintain recruiters, pos ...
