Smile How to change the body font in an existing Design Template?

For years I had MS office 2003 now I've updated with a new computer (from Vista to Win10)
And I now have MS Office 2016 so I'm still pretty new to how things work. In Word, I've figured out a lot of it (love the little box at the top that asks what I want to do! very helpful!)

I have a manuscript that I opened to work on in Word and found a design template (minimalist) that I like a lot. But I want to change the font size for the body (not the Title or Chapter Titles) and I'm not sure how to do that. Is there a way?

This is a very large document and would be a pain to have to select all the text in each chapter, one at a time and apply a new size. I hope I don't have to do that.


Thanks for any suggestions.

Learn and use styles. Open your template (right-click, Open) and change the font size for your body text style. Save the template. Now documents created based on that template will use that style.

See Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word.

Thank you, Charles, why did I not think to right click on it?!?!
I guess I was expecting some long and difficult steps to do this, lol
Thank you so much!!
