Three questions about Microsoft Word, please...

Hello experts !

Would you please help me with these two questions about MSW please ?

  1. How can I have several files open "stack" style, it is to say, in a way that I am able to see my main file displayed in front of me and the tittles of several other files "stacked" on top of it so I might "click" on any of them and display it ?

  2. Whenever I create a new file (blank document), it suggests me by defatult the font "Calibir (Body)" and the size "11"; can I set my MSW in a way that it suggests me (by default) the font "Times New Roman" and the size 24 ?

  3. Where and how can I check which version of MSW I am using ?

Thank you in advance for all your help, best greetings from New York,

Antonio Machado.

Here's part of the answer, assuming you are using MSO 2010,

"Change or set the default font

When you set a default font, every new document you open will use the font settings that you selected and set as the default. The default font applies to new documents that are based on the active template, usually Normal.dotm. You can create different templates to use different default font settings.

Note In Word, you can also quickly and easily format an entire document to give it a professional and modern look by applying a document theme. A document theme is a set of formatting choices that can include a color scheme (a set of colors), a font scheme (a set of heading and body text fonts), and an effects scheme (a set of lines and fill effects)."

I use Office 2003 but I suspect more recent versions will have the same sort of thing for changing the default font and size.

So, in 2003, I go to Format, Font, change to what you prefer, then click 'Default' to keep new documents using your preference.

Hope that helps re your 2nd question
