Search for a file called normal.dot and then delete it.

It wouldn't have...

You need to modify the default font settings in Normal.dot:

LOL...

To clarify, normal.dot is the file that stores the default document settings for word, you can either modify the existing normal.dot file, or delete it and word will re-create a new normal.dot file next time you run it.

If you have other settings stored in your normal.dot then Mark's way would retain them, otherwise simply deleting it will restore all settings back to default.
