Word 2007: Change the default line spacing

Word 2007 provides a default font. If this isn't the font that you want to use for all of your documents, then you can change it. Once this change is made, all documents based on the normal template will use the specified font. To change the default font:

  1. On the ribbon, click Home tab > Paragraph Group > Dialog box.paragraphdialog
  2. The paragraph dialog box appears. Make any changes to the paragraph attributes.
  3. Once all the changes have been made, click the default button.paragraphdefaul
  4. A message will appear asking if you want to change the font to the one specified.
  5. Click Yes to make the change. This change will be made for all documents that are created after the Default has been changed.
