Hi Liuda, I would like to suggest that you join the Jaws-Users list. I am assuming that you are using Jaws as your screen-reader. On this list you will get answers from a wider range of people using Word 2010. Click on the link below, put subscribe, into the subject line, & send without putting anything into the message field of the email.

I think I should be able to make 14 point my default for all documents like in a template and never have it change. This is what I need to do and not worry about it for every document. I will continue until I find a way to achieve this myself because if I forget once, then it is a disaster for my work. There must be some way that I can do this myself. A friend sent me the following directions: To change the default font settings, click the small box with an arrow in the right left corner of the Font section of the Home tab in the Ribbon. In the Font dialog box, choose the default font settings you want. Notice in the Font box it says "+Body"; this means that the font will be chosen by the document style you choose, and you are only selecting the default font style and size. So, if your style uses Calibri, then your font will be Calibri at the size and style you chose. If you'd prefer to choose a specific font to be the default, just select one from the drop-down box and this selection will override the font selection in your document style. Here we left all the default settings, except we selected 12 point font in the Latin text box (this is your standard body text; When you've made your selections, click the "Set as Default" button in the bottom left corner of the dialog. You will be asked to confirm that you want these settings to be made default. In Word 2010, you will be given the option to set these settings for this document only or for all documents. Click the bullet beside "All documents based on the Normal.dotm template?", and then click Ok. Now, the trick is if JAWS will read everything that is required to do to reach my final destination. I do not know this yet. I will try it and practice and see what I can do, but it appears that this is the only way to accomplish what I am trying to do, Cliff. Thanks always for your ideas ... Liuda. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cliff Smales Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 8:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Getting settings to stick in Word2010Documents Liuda: The best answer I can give you goes like this. 12 point is the default size for my machine. This may vary, of course, from machine to machine, and manufacture to manufacture. For example: Once your writing session is completed, and you've shut down, your font size will, or may be 12, the next time you start a new word document. The varriences go outward from that 12 point default. I'm sure you'll find the same situation, or close to it. "Control+shift+period". Cliff Smales Hope this answers your question. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liuda Balcius" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 12:35 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Getting settings to stick in Word2010Documents > Cliff, this sounds very good.
