3. There should be a line that says "Style for following paragraph." Make that box is set to "No Spacing."

4. Next underneath the heading "Formatting" you should see a place where you can change the Font type and size. Change them to Times New Roman size 12. If you want to get change the document to single-spaced, you do it here as well. There should be a chunk of writing that says "Sample text Sample Text" over and over.

   Near the bottom of the box, you should see two options. One says "Only in this Document" and the other says "New documents based on this template." Click "New documents based on this template." You screen should look just like the picture (you can make the picture bigger by clicking on it). If it does, click "OK"

6. Now you have to repeat steps 2-5 only instead of clicking the Left-Most "AaBbCc" box, you have to right click the box directly to the right of it. Once you repeat the same steps with that box, all of your documents should open with Times New Roman, 12 font.
