Computer Tips, Tricks, Tweaks and Tutorials - Create a Shortcut to Open Microsoft Word With Out a Blank Page.

The next Word Tip and Trick was submitted a while ago in the article about Microsoft Word’s 30 most used keyboard combinations/shortcuts and hotkeys . Steve Roberts asked me here if I knew an option for opening Microsoft 2007 without a blank page. I didn’t know a solution immediately but Steve found a solution for it pretty quick.

 

If you want to create a shortcut to open Microsoft Word with out a blank page you’ll need to do this.

 

  • Go to your desktop.
  • Right click
  • Go to new
  • And select Shortcut
  • Now go to this location “c:\programs files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\winword.exe”.

And click on next and OK.

Now right click on your desktop shortcut and choose properties.

Now you need to write in your target field behind the last" a /n so it will look like this " /n.

    When I use the Right Click (on mouse) to go to:
    -> NEW
    -> WORD 2007 Document
    It ALWAYS creates a new document that has the Font Calabri 11
    I have changed the NORMAL template (and saved) as “Times New Roman” 12

    I have 5 different ways changed the Default font in an open word doc (and checked the “apply to all NEW documents”

    It will still always right click open a new word doc with the Original Calabri 11 font.

    Try it on your desktop, I am sure no matter what you do to the NORMAL Template or to the fonts inside an open word doc (make deafault etc) a New Doc opened with the Right click will always open as Calabri font

    When I right click a NEW word doc, what template is it using?

    How can I change whatever template the right click new document is using? (it claims it is NORMAL, but I chaged Normal and it isn’t)
