Does it work if you open the template as a document (via File | Open), and
then change the font? For instructions on opening normal.dot, see the "To
make other changes" section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm.
If the above works for you, then something is preventing the Normal template
from being saved. The culprit is frequently an add-in from Adobe; see
