Maybe Arial, but don't worry about "changing it up" with something that isn't often used. Don't be that "are you impressed I know how to use word?" person.

Whichever one my secretary prefers.



And she prefers Calibri because that's what I told her to prefer.

I think Calibri defaults to 10. But I use 11.

The only thing I don't like about Times New Roman is that it's a monospaced font. I prefer proportional fonts. But, I just assume Times New Roman would be best since I'm in an industry that's inundated with old farts
The Supreme Court won't even accept TNR. I think you should look to change your font.

Arial, calibri, century, new century, garamond, verdana, etc. all work better than tnr and show a greater attention to detail.

I like to mix 'em up. Try to use at least 7 different fonts per page.

I think everyone should have a go-to serif and sans serif font.

Times New Roman and Arial for me.

I saw a study once that Garamond was the most effective and persuasive. I use it for letters and Times New Roman for legal docs.

Cambria or Times New Roman. Not a fan of Arial.
