| 110916 | 2003-01-04 04:06:00 | Alison, you can change the default folders in Publisher 97 for saving files by creating a shortcut on your desktop for Publisher and changing the Target destination in the shortcut's Properties to the folder which you require. I don't know of a way to change the default folders for opening picture files. There may be a way to change the default font when a new text box is opened but I'm not sure. I will have to look at my notes and will get back to you if it is possible. One thing you can do is create a text box with your font preferences and create a Style from it which will quickly have it how you want. |

| 110917 | 2003-01-04 04:14:00 | I found the info quicker than I thought . :-) Merlin is correct regarding not being able to specify default fonts in new text boxes but there is a way around it . The following is from my Tip World notes: "Is there a way to change Publisher's default New Publication template?" The answer is no . While previous versions of Publisher allowed you to do this, Publisher 98 and 2000 do not . However, you CAN create a document template of your own containing the features you WISH were in the default template – and then use it instead of the default template to create new publications . To create the template, click the New button to open a new, blank publication . Next, change whatever you like . To change the default text size to 12 points (or what you prefer), choose Format, Text Style; in the Text Style dialog box click Change This Style, Character And Type Size, set Size to 12, and click OK, OK, Close . To change the default margins to . 5 inch (if you wish), choose Arrange, Layout Guides; set all four Margins to . 5 inch, and click OK . Once you've made all your changes, choose File, Save As . From the Save as Type drop-down menu, choose Publisher Template (* . pub); name your template (for example, My Default) and click Save . To use this template for your next new publication, choose File, New (do NOT click the New button); in the Publisher Catalog click Template, then select your template and click Open . It's not as smooth a process as clicking the New icon, but it saves you the trouble of repeating steps with every new publication . Hope this helps . |
