Word 2007 has some interesting default settings to say the least, and I’m sure that I am not the only one that would like to change them. Today, I’m going to show you how to change those awful settings to something that suits you better.
First, you want to open up Word 2007, and open the font settings box by clicking on the bottom right corner of the font options part of the home tab.
Now that the font settings are up, change all of the settings to what you like and click the default button in the bottom left corner. It will ask you if you are sure, but of course you are!
Next, you will open up the paragraph settings by clicking on the bottom right of the paragraph options in the home tab.
You should have just opened the options window for paragraph. Change the settings to what you want and click the default button.
No longer do you have to change the settings every time you open Word 2007.

I would like some assistance in Microsoft Word. I have a default setting for the ‘Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List and Details’ icon. Every time I open a folder, it defaults to ‘Tiles’. I would like to know how to change to default to ‘List’ if that is at all possible. I am so used to that format, that I find it frustrating to change the ‘Tiles’ to ‘List’ every time I am in a document.
I would appreciate the help you can give me in resolving this issue. Thanking you in advance, Barbara Fox
I have a problem with Adobe reader being the default even though I am saving all of my documents to Word. How do I change the default from Adobe Reader to Microsoft Word? I am in school and my documents have to be saved in Word not adobe reader, it seems like nothing I do is working. So if someone could help me with this I would so greatly appreciate this!!
Thank You

A colleague of mine at work has MS Word 2007 on his home computer and has somehow managed to change the defaults somehow that all he can open is MS WORKS files. Do you know how to change it back so he may open any type of Word file?
There are some other options you should uncheck in Word as well. There’s a nice article about it here:
