I don't write this to challenge George's advice about fonts, merely that I just opened Word 2000, which I am virtually sure Mr. Beasley is using, and changed to 12 point, and hit the default button. I was asked via a confirmation dialogue if I wanted this size font for all docs, and ansered 'Yes'. Of course Word was using normal.dot which I think is the default template for Word. On opening Word 2k again, the font was still at 12 point. There have been times though I've deleted normal.dot as it got corrupted on my old computer. It seems if you do this, Word rebuilds the default template. Anyway, hope Peter gets it sorted. The readers of the talking newspaper were finding the font size a bit hard going last week!

Go to File, Open, and in Files of type, select Templates. Find the normal.dot file, and make the changes you wish, then make sure you save the file as a Template (.dot) and not a .doc file.

It's easy to get font sizes mixed up, especially if you have chosen different sizes for different parts of the document one (or have inadvertently made) more than one in the document.
