Using Microsoft Word 2011 (Mac) for Your Dissertation. As well as any set by your school or department – you will need to modify the default, standard Word.

Hi, Through some google searches I've figured out how to set the default font by creating a new template. However, I wanted to also set the default font for footnotes/endnotes, but have had no luck. I've put an endnote in a blank document, set the endnote font to Times New Roman, deleted the endnote, saved as template, etc., but that hasn't worked. I don't want to save the template with the endnote in there, and as it is, the very next endnote goes back to the default helvetica font. Here's what I tried, which seems to work: Open a new blank word processing document. Enter a bit of text and insert a footnote. Enter some footnote text, select it and set the attributes you want to use (font, etc.) Leave the footnote text selected.

Go to the View menu and choose Show Styles Drawer. In the Styles Drawer, select Footnote Text and click the triangle to the right of the style name. From the pop-up menu, choose Redefine style from Selection. In the body of the document, select the text you entered, including the footnote marker. Press delete. Go File > Save as Template.

Name the template, and save it in the default location. Close the document without saving. The new template will appear the My templates section of the Template Chooser. Documents made using this template will use your revised Footnote Text style for footnote text.

Documents made using other templates will use the original Footnote Text style. Regards, barry. Here is what I posted in reply to your same question in the MacRumors forum. Not much to add to what Barry said except that you can import your custom-configured styles from one document into any other. To change the text fonts you need to redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Then save this document as a template & set it as your default in preferences. Styles are a per-document setting so these new styles won't affect existing documents, templates or any 'foreign' documents you open.

You can import the styles from one document to another in Format > Import Styles & replace existing styles. Here's what I tried, which seems to work: Open a new blank word processing document.
