Tip In Word 2003 or earlier, if you do not see the formatting bar when you open Word, click View, then Toolbars, and make sure Formatting has a check next to it. The font settings placement changed after Word 2003, with all the settings placed in the Font section on the Ribbon 's Home tab. If Word doesn't remember the preferred Font settings and keeps changing back, follow these steps to resolve the issue: Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates. You might also check to make sure that all of the users have the same fonts installed on their systems. If a document uses a font that is on your system, and then that document is opened on a system that doesn't have the same font, Word will substitute a different font for the missing one. 2 Answers Sorted by: 2 Can you try: copy a few words from where it's red, and paste that just before the orange/after the blue with "keep source formatting" cut all of the orange, and paste it in the middle of the red that you just pasted with "keep text only" If the default Word font is not to your liking, you can change it.
