When you type text in a document, Word applies a set
of default text font and paragraph attributes. Some examples of Word’s
font default settings include font style, size, and formatting options,
such as bold, italic, and underline. You can also include text effects (New!),
such as text fill, outline, style, shadow, reflection, glow and soft
edges, and 3-D. Some paragraph examples include alignment, indents, and
spacing. You might find that having your own personalized font style and
color, indent, and spacing settings would really make your documents
more custom. In the same way, you can also set default page options—such
as margins, paper sizes, and layout—for a new document. To find out the
current default settings for your document, you can open a new
document, and then type some text.
