Font changes in MS Office

Hi. I was wondering whether there is a way to change the settings on Visio and Word and Powerpoint so that the default font when you open the application is always set to your preference. I find it a nuisance on Visio when its always at Arial and Word is always Times New Roman. I've tried Tools>Options menu, but nothing! Whereas in Excel, Tools>Options>General allows me to change the default font.

Select the options you want to apply to the default font.
Click Default.

Change the default formatting
Make sure that no shapes are selected.
On the Format menu, click Text
Select the formatting options you want.

When you draw a new shape by using one of the following drawing or text tools, the new default formatting is applied to the shape:

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
