(for Word 11) and one within Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office I think I have resolved the problem, having found three normal.dotm template files, two within Library/Application support/Microsoft. īut in truth I have no idea where a normal.dotm is being picked up from. and in Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office. I have looked in OSX library via Library/Application support/Microsoft. I don't understand themes at all – in fact I don't want themes, just the ability to set up my own style in the normal document and carry on.īut Word seems to insist that I work in the format it wants me to work in. New document in 2016 gives me Calibri 12 pt. I have both Word 2011 and Word 2016 on my mac.Ī new document opened in 2011 gives me Arial 11 pt I don't want to have to set this up every time I open a new document and I am stumped. I can't see how I can change this to 11 pt.

If I go into themes and click on Arial, I get 12 pt. I have changed the normal style in 2016 to Arial 11 pt (and saved it) but if I open a new document, I get back Calibri 12 pt. My stock normal template (which has worked for years) is Arial 11 pt.

No matter what I try, my normal template (in Word 2016) keeps changing back to Calibri 12 pt as default. I have worked with Word for years and am trying to transition from Word for Mac 2011 to Word for mac 2016.
