[Solved] Personalized Default Template
[Solved] Personalized Default Template
I'm running OO 4.1.8 on Windows 10, on a new computer. I've been using OO for years, and had set up a default template on my old box (also Windows 10 but an earlier version of OO) using Verdana and Tahoma, which was automatic in new Writer documents on the old system. I created and saved a new default template yesterday, and began editing a new document by saving the template to a Writer file. Today, suddenly, my file is reverting to the original template using Arial and Times New Roman (I really dislike Times New Roman). Is there a way to tell my document to use the template I identified as default yesterday??

Re: Personalized Default Template
I did, actually, but when I Googled my issue, I found a reference to a previous post here which explained that I had failed to modify the fonts under /Format /Styles and formatting to set them to the values I wanted. I've done that and have had no more trouble. Thanks for your help.
