Change Font and Spacing in Word Change Default Font and Spacing in Word In Word 2007 & 2010 the default fonts have changed from Times New Roman 12 point and Arial 12 point to Cambria 11 point and Calibri 11 point respectively. I am trying to package a customized version of Office 2010. We have standard fonts for Outlook, Word and excel. I have created a customized file with the.msp extension and placed in the updates folder.

- The default font in Word 2016, 2013 & 2010 when a new word document is opened is Calibri. If you want to change the font for the current document then you can use the drop down available as part of the Font section.
- Mar 13, 2014 But changing the programs’ default font—the one that comes up every time you create a new document—isn’t so obvious. I’ve tested the following instructions in Word 2010 and 2013.
- Change other default settings in the Normal template. You can customize the Normal template and change default settings for many aspects of a document, such as text formatting, paragraph formatting, document formatting, styles, text, pictures, AutoText entries, and keyboard shortcuts. To make changes to Normal.dotm, you must open the file from Word.
To use your favorite font in Word all the time, set it as the default.
-
Go to Home, and then select the Font Dialog Box Launcher .
-
Select the font and size you want to use.
-
Select Set As Default.
-
Select one of the following:
-
This document only
-
All documents based on the Normal template.
-
-
Select OK twice.
If the default font setting doesn’t persist
Sometimes, a company’s permission settings or some add-ins change the default font back to the original font. If that’s happening, here are some things to try.
Check permissions
-
Select Start.
-
In the Search box, type Normal.dotm and select Search.
-
Right-click Normal.dotm, and select Properties.
-
On the General tab, make sure Read-only isn’t checked. If it’s checked, uncheck it.
-
Select the Security tab. Under Group or user names, select your name, and then make sure you have Write permission in the Permissions box.
-
Select OK.
If you aren’t able to uncheck the Read-only box or if you don’t have Write permission, contact the person who’s in charge of your company’s computer systems.
Turn off add-ins
If you have Write permissions and the default font setting still doesn’t stick, you might have to turn off Word add-ins and change the default font setting. Here’s how:
-
Select File > Options > Add-Ins.
-
In the Add-ins box, find one of the add-ins you want to turn off and note the add-in type listed in the Type column.
-
Select that add-in type in the Manage list, and select Go.
-
Uncheck the boxes for the add-ins you want to turn off, and select OK.
-
Repeat steps 1-4 for other types of add-ins.

-
Select an Add-in type in the Manage list, and select Go.
-
Check the boxes for the add-ins you want to turn on, and select OK.
-
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other types of add-ins you want to turn on.

If the default font setting doesn’t persist
Sometimes, a company’s permission settings change the default font back to the original font. If that’s happening, try this:
Check permissions
-
Open Finder, and in the Search box, type Normal.dotm.
-
On the File menu, select Get Info. Or, press and hold + I.
-
Select General, and make sure Locked is unchecked. If it’s checked, uncheck it.

Select Sharing & Permissions, and next to your name, make sure you have Read & Write permission under Privilege.
If you aren’t able to uncheck the Locked box or if you don’t have Read & Write permission, contact the person who’s in charge of your company’s computer systems.
In the annals of computer history, no two keystroke combinations have done more to boost worker productivity than Ctrl-C to copy to the clipboard whatever you've selected on the screen, and Ctrl-V to paste the contents of the clipboard to wherever you've placed the cursor.
What often follows the paste is the laborious process of reformatting the pasted material to match the look of the destination document. Microsoft Word lets you apply the formatting of the destination document when you paste, but by default Ctrl-V retains the original formatting of the pasted text.

Back in 2007 I described how to create a keystroke combination for pasting plain text in Word. One of the welcomed changes to Word 2007 was the ability to change the program's default paste setting to plain text, which I explained in a post from 2010.
Word 2007 also added a third paste alternative: in addition to retaining the selection's original formatting or pasting only plain text, you can choose to 'match the destination formatting' when you paste (Word 2010 renames this option as 'merge formatting'). This setting adopts most of the formatting of the destination document but retains bold, italic, and other emphasis formatting of the selection.
More helpful is the preview Word 2010 provides of the three paste options: hover over the buttons in the Paste dialog to see how the clipboard contents will appear after the paste.

Make plain text the paste default in Word 2010
Previewing your paste avoids unpleasant surprises when adding material to a document from another source, but nine times out of ten I just want to paste plain text via Ctrl-V: no preview or mouse action required. To change the default paste setting in Word 2007 and Word 2010, open the program's Advanced options.
Previewing your paste avoids unpleasant surprises when adding material to a document from another source, but nine times out of ten I just want to paste plain text via Ctrl-V: no preview or mouse action required. To change the default paste setting in Word 2007 and Word 2010, open the program's Advanced options.
In Word 2007, click the Office button, then Word Options, then Advanced in the left pane. In Word 2010, click File > Options > Advanced. In both programs, scroll to the 'Cut, copy, and paste' section of the Advanced settings.
In the drop-down menus to the right of 'Paste between documents' and 'Paste between programs,' choose Keep Text Only. You can also change the placement of images you paste (the default is to set pasted images in line with the text).
Other options in this section let you preserve bullets and numbering when you paste plain text (on by default), use the Insert key to paste (off by default), show the Paste Options button when pasting (on by default), and use smart cut and paste.

Click the Settings button to the right of this last option to access even more paste options. These include automatic adjustment of word, sentence, and paragraph spacing (all but the last on by default); automatic adjustment of table formatting and alignment (on by default); merge formatting when pasting from PowerPoint (on by default); automatic adjustment of data pasted from Excel (off by default); and merge pasted lists with surrounding lists (on by default).

There's probably no need to change Word's default Keep Source Formatting setting for material pasted from the same document. Likewise, you can get away with retaining the source formatting 'when style definitions conflict,' although I changed this setting to Keep Text Only.

Frankly, I'm not sure what exactly constitutes a style definition conflict or whether I'd be aware of such a conflict if it bit me on the nose. (Any elucidation you can offer on this subject is much appreciated.)
