Go to Tools Options... and select "Run in Developer Mode" on the Advanced
Tab. Go to FormatDefine Styles... and modify the Text attribute of the
style applied to your shapes ("Basic" style for the Rectangle). For shapes
that have no style applied to them (e.g. shapes added using the drawing
tools) change the font size when no shapes are selected and you should find
that all shapes created thereafter will start off with the new font size.

Hello,

In Visio 2007, how can I change the default text size of shapes?
E.g., the default text size of a Rectangle (from Basic Shapes) is 8 point.
I want the default text size to be 12 points.
How is that done in Visio 2007?

Many thanks in advance,

Roberto Rocco
