Microsoft recently made a change to the default fonts in Word as part of a recent update. The previous default fonts, Calibri for normal text and Calibri Light for headings, have been replaced with Aptos and Aptos Display.
If you’re not a fan of these new fonts, don’t worry, you can easily switch back to Calibri or choose a different font altogether. To do this, open a new document and make sure you’re on the “Home” ribbon.
To revert to the default font in Word for both normal text and headings, follow these simple steps:
1. In the “Font” section, select the font labeled “(body text)” from the drop-down menu.
2. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right-hand corner.
3. Choose your desired font under “Font” and adjust the style and size if needed.
4. Click on “Set as default,” then select “All documents based on the Normal template” in the next window.
5. Close all windows by clicking “OK.”
6. Repeat the same steps for the font you want to set for headings.
By following these steps, you can customize the default fonts in Word to suit your preferences and make your documents look exactly how you want them to.
