To apply a theme: In Word 2016 for Mac, on the Design tab, click Themes, and then choose a theme. The Microsoft Consolas Font Family is a set of highly legible fonts designed for ClearType.

In the pop-up menu box, select Modify. In the 'Modify Style' box, make whatever adjustments you prefer. At the bottom of the box, select the radio button to enable 'New documents based on this template' to ensure that your style changes persist when you create new documents.
Save the template. For major changes to your defaults, open a blank new document and adjust the different styles to meet your needs. If you save the document, you may (or may not, depending on how your copy of Word is configured) receive a request to update or overwrite the normal.dotx template. To save your changes as the 'new normal,' proceed with the save. Otherwise, to create a separate template file for yourself, visit the File tab then select Export. Click Change File Type. In the box that appears on the right, select (.dotx) and give the file a name and a location.

To import, open a document that already has styles associated — another Publisher file, or a Word document. To create a new style, give it a name then change its parameters. You can specify the font, text effects, character spacing, paragraph breaking, bullet and numbering formats, horizontal rule lines, and tab placement.
Additional styles may be new or based on one you've already defined.
