I took me 2 days to figure out what the manual meant a few months back.
The Manual I am referring to is the Word Companion book.
Here is what I would do to change the "default" font (type-face and size
 and so on).
1. Select DEFINE STYLE in the FORMAT menu.
2. Click the Normal in the style list (highlight it).
3. Select the font and size from FONT menu.
4. Click DEFINE  botton to validate the new choice.
5. Click SET DEFAUT to record the new setting into the  "memory" of the
   Word Settings.
6. Optionally, you may change the line spacing, etc. when you are in the
   DEFINE STYLE conversation box.

There you are!     Have fun!
