It may be pretty but I hate it because I do a lot of text work with column tables, so I prefer the non-proportional "Courier New". I can NOT get rid of that damn Times New Roman default! I tried all the usual advice, including revision of the template normal.dot, but nothing works. Times New Roman creeps in UNpredictably, when I start a new document, or a new paragraph, or sometimes when I correct an inadvertent backspace with "enter". Sometimes when I specify the font default in the Format/Font dialog box it works, sometimes not. It works better if I ignore the "default" option, as that usually reincarnates the Times New Roman. I delete all the superfluous "Word document 1", 2, 3, etc. that appear whenever I try once more to change normal.dot. If you can help, you'll be the first of many experts who have tried and failed. Please reply off-list. Regards, Joe -- J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks, CA 91403-5013
