Not that skilled and too impatient to study lengthy documentation...
Thanks!

Chuck, ignorance is curable, but there is no pill.
Yes. This is something that can be done.
To get 12.5 you cannot select it from the drop-down, but you can type in 12.5 and it will be the font size used.
The following will do what you want but is not a good idea!
- Open the Normal template.
How to Open the Normal Template
- Right-Click on the normal style and modify it. Change the font as you want.
- Change the line spacing in paragraph formatting to meet what you want.
- OK the style change.
- Save and close the normal template.
You will likely be unhappy with the result. You might be happier with WordPad. It is much simpler.
Word is a very complex program with a deceptively easy interface. For most documents it is very easy to use. If it is a tool you use, you owe it to yourself to learn how to make it do what you want. Anything else dooms you to frustration.
Some suggested reading to help cure ignorance:
None of these are short. The shortest are the series of tutorials by Shauna Kelly. The last two are much longer.
