Word – How to really change Default font in Microsoft Word 2010

fontsmicrosoft word

I changed Microsoft Word for default font Arial Unicode MS. I did it in Home-Font- little right arrow.

When I export some document from some system which is created in Lucida Sans Typewriter and open it, Word is still displaying to me that format (which is big problem for me because I can't see some special letters unless I select it and change format to Arial Unicode MS format). So how to really change default and not to be changeable when opening from some other system?

Thanks

Changing the default font (e.g. via normal.dot) will only influence new documents. Any older document created in anther font will open with that font. This is the intended behaviour.

If you want to view it in Arial Unicode MS then you will either need to change the font in the document, or create it in that font (on the other machine which exported the document).
