Changing default font

[Robert King <ro...@gmail.com>]

I would like to change the default font for all text documents to Verdana.  

I have referred to all the forums I can find. 

In my version at least, there is no “Options” within “Tools” 

So I chose the alternate method:

Format, Styles and Formatting, Default, Modify….and then I change the font to Verdana and press OK.  It does change but only for that document.  When I go to a New document it goes right back to Times New Roman as the default.

What could I be doing wrong?  I just want to change the default font to Verdana.  

Thanks.

You've kept secret the important detail - visible 
from the headers of your message - that you are 
using a Mac. Macs are different! The Mac version 
has the settings in a different place: for "Tools 
| Options..." read "OpenOffice | Preferences". 
Everything you need is there instead.

You can use this technique to create a template 
and even then to make that template your default. 
But the Preferences method is easier for what you need.

I trust this helps.

While waiting for someone more knowledgeable to respond, you may want 
to look into using Templates. I haven't used them myself but I think 
they'll do what you want.

See, for example, Chapter 10 in the Writer Guide at
