Default Font Change - Word
New installations of Word 2016 on a PC have a default font, Calibri, 11 points. Macs use Cambria 11 points. You can change the font default so any time you start a new document you don’t have to change the font to the one you prefer. This process also works in Word 2013 & 2010.
