But note that AutoShape defaults apply to the current document, only,
so setting the defaults for all blank documents would require changing
them in Normal (the blank document template): First, open Normal as a
document (see "The simplest fix: cleaning up Normal.dot" section of
the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...cNotBlank.htm). Then,
insert a text box, modify it as needed, right-click and Set AutoShape
Defaults. Finally, delete the text box. Save and close normal.dot.

After formatting the AutoShape as desired, right-click on it and
choose Set

Then restart Word and from tools options general turn off
the
drawing
canvas, which is not necessary to insert a text box. Also check
tools
options view drawings.
If you can place a text box but not see it, you may have set the
default
autoshape settings to include no line around the box. Change it
back
again.
