Google-docs – the default font in Google Docs

google docs

I changed my default styles in Google Docs, but would like to know what Google Docs originally "ships" with, without tweaking my default styles.

What is the original font and size that comes with Google Docs?

It's mostly Arial in different sizes, 5 styles have different colors, and the last one is in Italics.

Other default settings:

Header & footers:
- Margins:
  - Header(inches from top): 0.5
  - Footer (inches from bottom): 0.5
Page setup:
- Margins (inches): 1 for all (Top, Bottom, Left, Right)

This can be done in new Google Docs (Drive) as well.

Do the necessary styling in a part of the document.
Place your mouse pointer over this location.
Click on the style selector and select the style you want to change the defaults of.
Click on update option to change the defaults.

Create a template in the gallery/repository and select them as the basis when making a new document.

Create your document and lay out the elements on the page
Save this document under a name you can remember or sets it apart as a template.
Go to the menu: Create new > From template...
- You'll be taken to the Template Gallery
Select the "My Templates" tab
Click Submit a template
Select the document you just created as the template you want to use and share.

Next time you want to create a new document based on a template, you'll go back to the Template Gallery and select it from there.

To speed the last step for next time, note the URL that appears in your browser when you open up the template. It will look something like this:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/Awh01EbUNCh0fL3tter5/edit

Make a bookmark out of that. Next time you hit that address you'll load up the document. That's as default as you can get right now.

Keep in mind that while other people using Google Docs will also be able to use your template for their documents, they will not be able to edit it.
