Setting 'Arial' font as default

[McNiwram]

Hi folks

I'm not sure if this has been asked thousands of times
before but how can I set 'Arial' as the default font
instead of 'Times New Roman'?

Cheers

Modify the Normal style in your normal.dot template. To do this, click
on Format | Style | <select the Normal style> | Modify | Format | Font |
<select Arial> | OK | check the "Add to template" box | OK. Close Word,
and if you are prompted to save changes to Normal.dot, say yes. Next
time you start Word, the base font will be Arial.

In the Format | Font dialog, change the font to Arial, then click the
Default... button and answer yes to the next dialog box.
