Really stupid works question

Hi all,

I've got a really stupid question about works, I'm sure the answer's really simple but I'm terrible at techie stuff. How can I change the settings so that Ariel instead of Times is my default font? Also, can I change other things, like double line spacing, as the default?

Cheers,

Ames

    From memory just change a page to your requirements and save and tick save as default document? ?

    where do I tick save as default? I can't see anywhere to do that, although I'm probably just being blind.

    To change the default font or font size in the Works Word Processor, create a default word processor template configured to use the font and font size you want. To do this, follow these steps:

    1.Open a blank document in the Works Word Processor.

    2.Select the font and the font size that you want to use for all new word processor documents.

    3.On the File menu, click Save As, and then click Template.

    4.Type a name for the word processor template, click to select the Use this template for new Word Processor documents check box, and then click OK.


    Between steps 2 and 3 you should also change any other settings you wish to (double line spacing)

    Aahh, thank you! I'd never even noticed the save as template option on save as! All sorted now, so I don't have to worry about formatting my essays wrong any more.

  • THis method will change the default

    Set the default font

    The default font applies to new documents based on the active template.

    1 On the Format menu, click Font
    2 Select the options you want to apply to the default font.
    3 Click Default.
