How to Change the Default Font in Microsoft Word

Setting a default font in Microsoft Word is an essential step in document creation that can save time and ensure consistency. In this tutorial video, we will show you how to set the default font in Microsoft Word, including the steps to change the default font in Word 2019 or Office 365.

The default font in Word is usually set to Calibri, but you may prefer a different font to suit your needs. By setting a default font, every new document you create will automatically use that font, rather than the default font set by Word. This can save you time, and ensure consistency throughout your documents. It's also important to note that you can change the default font in Word for all future documents, or for just the current document you're working on.

To set a default font in Word, open Microsoft Word and click on the "Font" group button in the "Home" tab of the Ribbon. This will open the "Font" dialogue box. From here, you can choose the font you want to use as your default font. You can also select the font size, colour, and other formatting options. Once you've chosen your desired font and formatting options, click the "Set As Default" button at the bottom left of the dialogue box.

A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to set the default font for this document only, or for all documents based on the Normal template. If you want to apply the default font to all future documents, select "All documents based on the Normal template" and click "OK" to apply the changes. You have now successfully set the default font in Word.

If you are using a different version of Word, the steps may vary slightly. However, the general process is similar, so you can still use this tutorial as a guide. In Word 2019, you can also access the "Font" dialogue box by clicking on the "Font" drop-down arrow in the "Styles" group in the "Home" tab of the Ribbon, and selecting "Modify Style." From here, you can choose the font you want to use as your default font for the document, or select "New Documents Based on This Template" to apply the default font to all future documents based on the template.

In Office 365, the steps are similar to those in Word 2019. Open Microsoft Word, and click on the "Font" group button in the Ribbon " Home " tab. From here, you can choose the font you want to use as your default font, and select the formatting options you desire. Once you have made your selections, click the "Set As Default" button at the bottom left of the dialogue box. Then, select "All documents based on the Normal template" and click "OK" to apply the changes.

By changing the default font in Microsoft Word, you can ensure that your documents have a consistent look and feel, and save time by not having to manually change the font every time you create a new document. This is especially helpful for businesses and organizations that require a specific font for branding purposes.

It's important to note that changing the default font in Word will not affect any documents you have already created. However, you can still change the font of an existing document by selecting the text you want to change, clicking on the "Font" group button in the "Home" tab of the Ribbon, and selecting the desired font.

In conclusion, setting a default font in Microsoft Word is a simple and helpful way to ensure consistency and save time in your document creation. Follow the steps in this tutorial to set the default font in Word 2019 or Office 365, and improve your document creation efficiency.
