Changing the default font in MS Word 2010 or 2013 is easy as just opening the Font dialog (Ctrl+D) box and click “set as default” and then select “All documents based on Normal.dotm template?” and click Ok. Well sometime this never works. Sometimes even after setting the defaults as mentioned earlier, new documents seems to be created with same old default font.
The problem is sometimes the Normal.dotm template file is locked from saving because of the extensions used in Word, such as PDF extensions or proper admin requirements. Anyway there is a workaround, here it is.
In Word, press Alt+F11 key, this will open the Visual Basic Editor for Word. After it opens, press Ctrl+G, this will open up the Immediate Window – where you can type commands, now type the following and press Enter.
NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument
Now MS Word will have Normal.dotm template file opened, now you can set the font as default (use the same method mentioned in the first paragraph) and save the document and close it.
Now you will have the default font as you chose.
