At some point when your office software was installed your default font was set, for example Times New Roman, 12 pt.  It's very easy to change this default setting.  Here's how to in Word 2007.

Go to the Font section of the Home ribbon and click on the little arrow in the bottom right hand corner.

Change the font to the desired style, size etc, then click on the button that says 'Default' at the bottom left.  Click on Yes in the dialogue box that appears.

In Word 2010 you start the same way right down to where you click on the Default button but you get a different dialogue box.  Select the second option 'All documents based on the normal.dotm template?' and click on OK.
