Now let's go ahead and make some changes maybe to what font we want to use. So maybe for this one we'll go with something like Arial and we'll change the size to 12. Here we have a preview of it but to make this the default font when we're using that Normal template going forward for our new documents, we need to go to the lower left corner and select Set as Default.
