Customise Autoformat in Access 2007

I want to customise a form format under the Autoformat option in Access 2007.
However when I click on the Customise button it doesn't allow me to edit the
font size or colour. How do I do this? Itried changing the font size of a
control on the current form and then chosing the option to create a new style
based on the form but it didn't hold the new font size to all the controls
when I tried to apply it to other forms.
Alternatively how do i create a design that I can use to create a style in
Auto format so that I can can change all my existing forms to the new style?
Thanks
Tony

I got fed up very quickly playing with the format features in 2007, so went
back to the old way of creating a 'master' form with all controls and form
layout as I want it, then save that form as frmZDesign (so it;s always at the
bottom) and then rather than creating a new form I open that one, click Save
As to give it the name i want, set control defaults, then delete all the
existing controls and continue from there.

Although I have noticed that 2007 crashes about 1 in 10 times when I do this
routine. I'm fairly sure it happens when I set defaults and delete the
existing controls without saving in between times. At least it hasn't crashed
since I started saving between the 2 actions.

Thanks Tony, maybe I'll end up trying to do something along those lines.
Thanks again for the tip.
