It’s TechTuesday! Today we are sharing another video tip in our series titled “Tech Tip in a Tenth”.

Humans are born with a DNA, a self-replicating code which is the carrier of genetic information – that human’s “defaults.” Well, similarly, every Word document birthed from Word’s womb does so with a set of default settings that for font and paragraph spacing. But unlike your DNA, the good thing about Word, is the default’s can be changed to your liking! Watch the video below to watch a detailed demo on just how to do that in Word for Windows. If you’re a Mac user, watch the video first then click on the links below to follow the (very similar) steps for setting default font and spacing on Word for Mac.
