All I want is to create a macro of some kind that sets me to 10pt green courier, and another that will set me back to the usual font characteristics. I cannot figure out for the life of me where to make this happen. I tried creating a macro and it put me into a Visual Basic developers' mode. I don't know Visual Basic. I just want to change the stupid font characteristics. Why is it so hard? What is wrong with older versions of Word where things were put into menus that made at least some kind of sense?

Anyway, can anyone just tell me the quickest, easiest, spend-the-fewest-months-of-learning-new-Word-bullshit method for changing the font characteristics to something I want and then assigning that change to a specific set of key strokes?

Thanks to all gurus who can translate this idiotic application into plain language that can be understood by mortals. Also, I hate Word and all other apps that require a stinking graduate degree before they're even minimally useful.
