Tip: when Word's default button fails you

Hi All,

A customer called that did not like the default
paragraph spacing in Word. You are "suppose" to
be able to go into paragraph properties, set what
you want and click a Default button. It pops up
with a warning that this will be the case from
now on. And, well, disappointment ensued.

Here is a workaround (most of it is quoted from the reference):

M$ Word: How to change the change Normal.dotm template

Reference:
https://support.office.com/en-us/art...7-CCB5166F98EA


Note: Any changes that you make to Normal.dotm will be
applied to documents that you create in the future.

On the File tab, click Open.

Go to C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.

Open the Normal template (Normal.dotm).

Make any changes that you want to the fonts, margins,
spacing, and other settings. You can use the same commands
and features that you use to change a document — but remember
that any changes that you make to Normal.dotm will be
applied to documents that you create in the future.

When you have finished, click the File tab, and then click Save.

Note: If Normal.dotm is renamed, damaged, or moved, Word
automatically creates a new version (which uses the original
default settings) the next time that you start Word. The new
version will not include any of the customization that you
made to the version that you renamed or moved.
