    problems changing default font in Word 2007

    I have got a problem in the context of a state-wde Vista roll-out. In a nutshell, using the MS recommended method of changing the default font isnt working for us. I noticed that when I use the styles dialog box and set it there, then I can use the above recommneded method from that point on. I worked on a long time on this including scouring through Process Monitor to check if I can isolate write failures to the disk or registry that are made when a user is trying to set this. Is there anyone who can help me out from this issue? Thanks.

    I think that using the font dialog boxto change the default works for me along with numerous other users. I dont know why you are facing problems. The modification you are trying to make is stored in the Normal template, which is Normal.dotm, that should be located in the user's profile. Did you verify your changes are being saved when you exit Word? To verify, in Word Options/Advanced in the Save section, make sure "Prompt before saving Normal template" is selected.

    Thanks for responding. I read about it earlier and will try to do some testing right away. But I wanted to let you know that this issue isnt happening for everyone, but for some multiple users.
