Hello Liuda, After you either type in the font size or arrow to the size you want to use and you use the Set as Default button, in the resulting dialog you need to tab to a group of radio buttons and choose for it to apply to the normal template and not just the current document. . You use the OK button after choosing the appropriate radio button. I use Word 2013 but I think that is the same in Word 2010. You might have already done that but I thought I would point it out in case you were missing that step.
Take care.

I have specific margins which are not easy for me to set, since I don't know their exact settings and everything else in the template. I would hate to mess that all up. There must be some other alternative because you said that I should be able to adjust the font size, after this is done. It is not a given, however. I will continue to hold out and hopefully find some other solution so as not to totally disassemble all settings on the word 2010 template. Thanks though ... -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 11:35 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Font will not permanently change in Word 2010 Delete all instances of your normal.dot file. Afterwards when you open a new document in Word, it will create a new normal.dotx template. Then you can try adjusting the font size there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liuda" <balciu...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 3:33 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Font will not permanently change in Word 2010 >I am saying YES both times and I can change it to 10, 11 and 14, but >not 12 for some strange reason.
