Default Have Docs always open in Default Font/Color...

Hi,

I am new to Word 2010 and am trying to have every new document I type open in the default font size of 12, Arial and color blue. I'd also like the line spacing to only go down one space when I hit the enter key.



So far, I have figured out how to save it as a Style (except the spacing with the Enter key) and I can see it there in the list and I've made it the Default.

Even so, every new documents opens with differents fonts/colors.

Would appreciate it if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

Default Solved by seeing standard way don't work in certain situations!

I have a shortcut on my desktop to my "To Do" list.

I keep it open during the day. When I want a new doc, I create one, but the Normal template with my "Set as Default" font settings don't work this way I found out.

I have to start Word.

Hi JShopping,

to do this, you need to modify the 'Normal' Style definition in Word's 'Normal' template. See:
