How do I make Arial rather than Times Roman the font?

[Guest]

At the moment, when I start to type in a new document, the font is
automatically Times Roman, when I would much prefer to use the Font Arial.
How do I change it? It's no use altering the default setting, for example.

What do you mean, "it's no use"?
Open Word to a blank document. Hit Ctrl+A. Go to Format-->Font and change to
Arial. Hit the DEFAULT button, and hit OK.

Open a new blank document, go to Format, Font, choose Arial & size etc, click
the Default button, say yes to all the warnings, including the one to change
Normal. dot.

I have the same problem. If I change the default font to something other
than Times, next time I start Word it reverts back to Times! This never used
to happen.
