All right, now we go back to our original Word document. How do I make the Aspect theme for this document the default theme - so whenever I open a new document in MS Word, it will automatically have the Aspect theme instead of the Office theme. To do that, go to the Home tab and in the Styles section of the Home tab ribbon, there's a Change Styles tool or button. Click on the down arrow and click on Set as Default. Now the Aspect theme will be the default theme for any new Word documents.

To test this, open a new Word document and paste in the placeholder text. Now the body text font is Verdana. Go to the Page Layout tab and click on the down arrow of the Themes button, and you'll see that Aspect was automatically chosen for this new document. That proves that I have successfully changed the default theme to Aspect.

Now let's go back and make Office the default theme. First, go to the Page Layout tab, click Themes and select Office. Go back to the Home tab and click on the down arrow of the Change Styles button on the Home tab ribbon. Click on Set as Default. Now Office is again the default theme for Word 2010. Open a new document to test this and paste the placeholder text. Now the font used for the body text or Normal style is Calibri and Office is now the theme of this document.

In this screencast I have changed the default theme from Office to the Aspect theme, and then reverted back to Office as the default theme.
