Calibri is a “sans serif” font, which means it shows up more clearly on laptops and smartphones. Why did Microsoft change it? Couple of reasons: Before that, as you just read in the question above, the default was Times New Roman. It was introduced as the standard Word font way back in Office 2007 (and if you’re still using Office 2007, you really need to get your life in order). Question: What was the default font BEFORE it was Calibri?Ĭalibri has actually been around for a while.
Question: What is the default font in MS Word 2016? This sounds like an interesting 2-part trivia question. But did you know that you can change that, so that a new Word document will start off in whatever font you prefer? When you open Microsoft Word to create a new document, the default font that’s in place and ready to be used is Calibri.
