Changing default text box settings
OKay Graham: How the heck do you do that? Sounds neat...need more info.

I'm working on a project that will require a LOT of text boxes. When I draw a text box, I want it to automatically have certain settings. For instance, currently the defaults seem to be: Line color: Black Layout: In front of text Internal margins: .1" left & right, .05" top & bottom What I would like in every text box I create is: Line color: No line Layout: Square Internal margins: 0" all I can't determine WHERE I go to change the default settings, although I have a strong hunch that the settings are stored in normal.dot. I also seem to remember that at one time the default layout was in fact "square", so I think that I or a co-worker must have changed it at some point, accidentally or intentionally. Any help would be appreciated. |
