Change default font in Microsoft Word

The default font in Microsoft Word is “Calibri” or “Times New Roman” depending on the version.

If you work a lot with a certain font, you can set another font as the default font. You can then apply this choice for this default font to the current document or to any new document that you open.

It is relatively simple to change the default font. You just need to know where to find this setting. The most obvious would be the “Options” document, but no. You will find the settings for setting a default font in the font settings.
