Some users still prefer the styles, line spacing and font from Word 2003. To change the default in Word 2007 to that of Word 2003, follow these simple instructions.
1. Open Word 2007 and click on the Home Tab.
2. On the far right, is the ‘Change Styles’ button. Click on the button. On the drop down menu, hold your cursor over ‘Style Set’. From the fly out menu, click on ‘Word 2003’.
3. Click on the ‘Change Styles’ button again and then click on ‘Set as Default’. This sets the default spacing for all new documents to that of Word 2003. Now you are ready to change the default font.
4. The default font in Word 2007 is set to ‘Calibri’. To change this to Times New Roman (or any other font type); click on the small arrow at the bottom right corner of the Font group on the Home Tab. A Font dialogue window will open. Choose the font type, style and size that you want to set as the default and then click the default button at the bottom of the window. A confirmation window will open. Click ok, and the font in your current document and any *NEW* documents based on the normal template (blank documents) will have the spacing, style and font of Word 2003.
5. Ignore steps 2 through 4 if you want to keep the style sets and default font in Word 2007, but just want to change the line spacing. Click on the Page Layout tab and then click on the small arrow on the Paragraph group below ‘Spacing’. The Paragraph dialog window will open. Under the Spacing heading, change the Line Spacing to Single and the After spacing from 10 to 0 pt. Then click on the default button to make this the default spacing for this document and all future new documents.

Microsoft has created many self paced online tutorials for both the Office 2007 and Office 2003 application suites. These are text based tutorials that include images with an audio narration, and are categorize by application and function. The tutorials can be viewed at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/FX100565001033.aspx .
The Office 2007 rollout has begun! With the new Office suite, comes new file formats which result in backwards compatability issues with previous versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Fortunately, there is a free tool from Microsoft that will allow previous versions of these programs to open, edit, save and create files using these new formats.For more information, and a link to download the compatibility pack, visit Microsoft’s website at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101686761033.aspx�
