Word processing.

Specifically Microsoft Works. The default font is Times New Roman - which I do not like. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the default to something more appealing? It is not covered in the 'help' section within the documents.

I know nothing about Microsoft as I use Apple Macs. However, the information on the link below might hopefully be the answer:

Re: Word processing.

I don't know if you can change the default Tabby, but it's certainly easy enough to change the font when starting a new document by using the standard format menu.

Re: Word processing.

I see LQ has answered it already, but regarding fonts, I do like Comic Sans, or any of the Script fonts.

That's OK, you are welcome and even better is to know that it works!

Re: Word processing.

ST, are you using WORD? If so, you have tools in the header, which gives you the fonts styles and types.
