Default font and line spacing in Word 2007

By Sheri T (8 posts -- read other by posts Sheri T)

With the rollout of Office 2007 came a new default font and line spacing in Word; the Calibri font at 1.15 line spacing.  If the corporation you work for requires a different font for all correspondence, you might possibly want to change the font for all new documents.

Font:

Click on the arrow in the bottom right of the Font group on the Home tab of the ribbon to bring up the Font Dialog box.  Select the desired font and font size, then click on the Default button in the bottom left of the window.  Click Yes to apply this change to all new documents created in Word from this point forward.

  

Line Spacing: 

You change the line spacing in a similar way.  Click on the arrow in the bottom right of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.  Change the line spacing to Single.  The spacing After a paragraph can also be set to 0pt.  Click on the Default button along the bottom of the window; click Yes to make this a permanent change.

 Now all new documents created from Word 2007 will have your desired font and spacing.
