To set and make sure that the style of the default font in Word 2010 or Word 2013 is retained or saved, follow these steps:

  2. In the Font group, click the Font flyout to open the font dialog box.

  3. Select the options that you want to apply to the default font, such as font style and font size. If you selected specific text, the properties of the selected text are set in the dialog box.

  4. Click Set As Default.

  5. Select All documents based on the Normal.dotm template?

  6. Click OK.

  7. This guarantees that every new document you open will use the font settings that you selected and set as the default. The default font applies to new documents that are based on the active template, usually Normal.dotm.
