changing default font for text items

[wesperdue]

I can't find a way to change the default font settings for text items. I'm using 3.0.1 Pro in XP SP2.

After upgrading to UR 3, I noticed that the default font size is 12-point -- too big for my eyes. So I go to the text item under templates, select all, and change the selection to 11-point with the format toolbar.

I de-select, and see that the format bar agrees that the current font is 11-point.

So I go back to a text item under the project tree and create a child. I click in the text pane, and see it's 12-point.

So I go back to the template, right-click on the text pane, select font, and set the size to 11. I insert a new text child back in the projects pane and click in the text pane. The format bar says 11-point. So I start typing, and the text is 12-point.

Am I doing something wrong? I searched help and couldn't find anything about setting a default font for text items.

Thanks,
Wes

Hi Wes,

What happens if you use the Options dialog under the Tools menu? Try selecting the Editor tab. You've got choices for rich text and for text.

Does this help?

Bal,

Bingo! That solved the problem.

I forgot that was there. Thanks!
