How To Change Default Font Microsoft Word [Tutorial]

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.

When you create a new blank document in Microsoft Word, the application automatically sets the typeface to Calibri. This is convenient only if Calibri is the font you want to use. If it is not your preferred default font, you can change it.

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.

This tutorial will apply for Microsoft Word 2021, 2019, 2013, and 2010 for both Windows (such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, Asus) and macOS (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Mini) devices.

Does the font dialogue box not exist on the browser version of Word? My toolbar looks totally different from yours. How do I change the default font settings on the browser version?

APA 7 one can use several different kinds of fonts, but I always use 12-point Times New Roman. It's nice one can set it as a default.
