Font changes in MS Office

Hi. I was wondering whether there is a way to change the settings on Visio and Word and Powerpoint so that the default font when you open the application is always set to your preference. I find it a nuisance on Visio when its always at Arial and Word is always Times New Roman. I've tried Tools>Options menu, but nothing! Whereas in Excel, Tools>Options>General allows me to change the default font.
