I am trying to set a new default font for Word and the instructions are telling me to click on a "Font Dialogue Box Launcher," however, this button doesn't exist and I am using Windows.

    Hallelujah! Thank you for helping with yet another bit of STUPIDITY from Microsoft. Did nobody in that multi-billion dollar organization bother to TEST their stupid Help suggestion and realize that there is nothing labelled "Font Dialog Box Launcher"????

    When I do Cntl+D, it creates a bookmark, no dialog box. As you can see from the previous response, there is no dialog box in the font section.

    There are several ways to access the Font dialog box. For example, you can right-click a text paragraph and choose Font.

    Unfortunately, I don't get the same menu - I can change the font, but no option to set a default font.

    You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D to open the Font dialog. But the dialog launcher is the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the Font group on the Home tab.
