Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me. I don't know if
this is possible with microsoft office. What i'd like to do is to set the
same font, font size, language as default for word document, excel
spreadsheet and other office applications. So everytime i open a new word
doc, i can see the same font type as in excel. And i can change this font
type to something else and that changes would reflect across the office
applications.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance

It can be done but you'll have to go into each of the programs and make that
change. I'd be willing to bet real money that it can't be done all in one
shot.

Nor can they be changed all in one shot either.

I thought that's what I said but it's what I meant. ;-)

Oh, I was answering the second part of the question, which was could the
font be changed again from one command for all programs once changed the
first time.

Okay. I've been a bit tired lately. (With starting the new job, changing my
daily activities, and getting my handbook out on time, I'm bushed!) Thought
maybe I'd phrased something poorly. :-)
