    Perform the following steps to set the default font for new Microsoft Word 2010 documents.

    1. Right click the "Normal" Style on the Home ribbon and click Modify.

    3. Select the "New documents based on this template" option.
    4. Click OK
    5. Close and reopen Microsoft Word to confirm.

    4. Click OK to confirm
