In WordML we have

<w:fonts>
<w:defaultFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:h-ansi="Arial" w:fareast="Arial"
w:cs="Arial"/>

So that any run with no font will then use Arial. How can I set the
same in DOCX?

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

In DOCX, the equivalent of defaultFonts is "theme"

You can find it in theme1.xml:

- <a:fontScheme name="MyCustomTheme">
- <a:majorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Britannic Bold" />
<a:ea typeface="»ªÎÄÐÂÎº" />
<a:cs typeface="" />
</a:majorFont>
- <a:minorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Broadway" />
<a:ea typeface="»ªÎÄÖÐËÎ" />
<a:cs typeface="" />
</a:minorFont>
</a:fontScheme>

And in Word 2007, the corresponding theme definition dialog can be opened
by going to Page Layout tab -> Themes -> Fonts.

So if you want to run with no font will then use Arial "for latin body
text", we can set it as this:

- <a:fontScheme name="MyCustomTheme">
- <a:majorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Britannic Bold" />
<a:ea typeface="»ªÎÄÐÂÎº" />
<a:cs typeface="" />
</a:majorFont>
- <a:minorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Arial" />
<a:ea typeface="»ªÎÄÖÐËÎ" />
<a:cs typeface="" />
</a:minorFont>
</a:fontScheme>

Let me know if you have any other concerns or questions
Have a nice day!
