0Changing the Default Font in Microsoft Word
How many Microsoft Word documents have you seen using Calibri or Times New Roman? Too many to count, we’d surmise. Unfortunately, most users don’t stray past the default formatting when they’re creating Word documents. That’s a shame, as there’s actually a wide range of fonts to choose from to fit with the style of document you’re creating.
If you have a font that you use regularly, having to change the font every time can be a pain. The good news is that it’s possible to change the default font in Word. This allows you to use the same font in every new Microsoft Word documents you create.

After initial installation, Microsoft Word typically uses Times New Roman serif font as its default. This means that any new document you start will use Times New Roman as its typeface. This style of font, which resembles the print found in books, may not be the font you prefer to use most often for your documents. Although you can select a new typeface from the ribbon each time you open the program, setting your preferred font as the default eliminates the need for that extra step.
