Microsoft Word Home Premium, set default Font and Size

I have Microsoft Word 7 Home Premium. 
I want to set a default font and size. I have tried following all the instructions given in different blogs but been unsuccessful.     

Here is what I have done so far:

In HOME menu
Selected little arrow at the bottom right corner in the font box
In FONT under the heading of LATIN TEXT in Font
I selected my desired font and the desired size (JAMEEL NOORI NASTALEEQ 20 PTS)
Then under heading of COMPLEX SCRIPTS in Font
I selected +Body CS
Then press SET AS DEFAULT
Which takes me to a dialogue: .  . . . . . . . . .    "Do you want to set the default font to (Default) JAMEEL NOORI NASTALEEQ, 20 PT, BOLD,                                                                                   +BODY CS  (ARIAL), 20 PT, BOLD, EXPANDED BY 1 PT, KERN AT 20 PT FOR:" end of dialogue

Then I selected "ALL DOCUMENTS BASED ON THE NORMAL.DOTM TEMPLATE
And press OK.
It gives me what I am looking for, but when I restart the computer everything is gone.
Can someone be kind enough to help me, please.

Locate the Normal Style in the Styles gallery and then right click on it and select Modify and then in the Modify Style dialog, make the Font Formatting changes that you require and then select the New documents based on this template radio button before clicking on OK.

 

When you then exit Word, you should then be prompted to save the Normal.dotm template, which you will need to do.

 

Hope this helps,

Word must have a policy against being user friendly.  :(
