  • Can’t get default font for new text boxes.

    It is allowing me to set my new default font for the entire document, but when I create a new text box it defaults to a different font.

    As always thanks so much to you guys…Johnny In Orlando

    Select your text tool.
    Make sure no text frames are selected.
    Select the font/size/etc. you want as default in your control panel.
    (alternatively, select a paragraph style from the para styles panel).

    Now draw a text frame. You’ll see it matches the default you set.

    I’ve been using the Rectangle Frame Tool then double clicking inside it which brings up another font. So I should be using the Text Tool whenever I have text and use the Rectangle Frame Tool for graphics and such. Got it. Thanks so much for reply…
