the font in my template is 10 point, new docs have 12 point -help

[Guest]

I've created a template that has text formatted as Arial Bold 10 pt. When I
create a new document from this template, the font comes up as Arial Bold 12
point. I've tried a number of suggestions from the office assistance site,
but nothing seems to help - - -

You need to set the Font to 10 points in the Normal style.

1. Close all other documents.

2. Open your Normal.dot template as a document (i.e. Use File>Open...)

3. Then use Format>Styles and Formatting> and choose "Modify" for the Normal
style.

4. Then Save Normal.dot and re-start Word (to clear the Normal template from
memory).
