Hello All,

I have attempted to change my default font (the usual way: Format - Font -
change the font style/size - slecet Default and OK), but Word keeps changing
it back to Times New Roman every time I re-boot the computer.

Does anyone have the 'fix?'

Thanks!

The font change must be saved in Normal.dot and you may have something
installed (macros, add-ins) that tells Normal.dot that is has already been
saved.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed? This could prevent Normal.dot from
being saved even if you made changes to it. See:
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm

If Adobe Acrobat 7 is not the problem, try whether the following solves the
problem:
You can force a save of Normal.dot immediately after you make the font
change: press and hold the Shift key while you select File > Save All. If a
dialog box opens, asking whether to save changes to Normal.dot, click Yes.

Hello Lene.

Interestingly enough, I do not have a Save All option under the File menu
(just Save and Save As), so I cannot use that tip. I shall explore the Adobe
connection further and let you know; stay tuned . . .

Thanks for all the information, Lene. Take care.

Did you press and hold the Shift key when selecting File? The Save All
command oly appears if Shift is pressed.

That did the trick - thank you very much!

Take care, and all the best.
