How to change the default font in Microsoft Word

The steps are fairly similar to changing the font on either a Windows or a Mac. The biggest difference is how you open up the Font settings pop-up. 

Instead of following step two above, for Windows you need to select Home and then the Font launcher icon at the bottom right corner of the Font group. Alternatively, you can hold down CTRL and D on your keyboard. 

From here the steps are the same.

This can happen if you don’t have the correct permissions on your computer to make such changes, for example, if you’re using a work computer. If this is the case then contact the person who is in charge of your company’s computer systems, as they’ll be able to change the font.
