how to permanently change default font size in mspublisher
Going into font schemes doesn't quite do it for me. I would like to open
every new publication in Times Roman 12 point type (rather than 10). Is there an easy way of achieving this? -- warren |

Is there an easy way of achieving this? -- warren Warren, you didn't mention the Version, but for Version 2007, the help function presented this: Create and change font schemes for a professional look A font scheme is a defined set of fonts that is associated with a publication. Within each font scheme, both a primary font and a secondary font are specified. Generally, a primary font is used for titles and headings, and a secondary font is used for body text. Font schemes make it easy to change all the fonts in a publication to give it a consistent, professional appearance. When you apply a font scheme, Publisher changes the styles in your publication to use one of the two fonts in the font scheme instead of the default fonts for those styles. Create a font scheme You can create a completely new font scheme, or you can base a new font scheme on another font scheme. Create a new font scheme In the Format Publications task pane, in Font Schemes, click Create new font scheme. Select a heading font and a body font, and preview them in the Sample box. Note When you have enabled more than one language type (Latin, East Asian, and Complex Script), you can specify alternate pairs of fonts for each language type. Type a name for your new font scheme. Top of Page Change a font scheme You can change font schemes in several ways. You can delete or change the name of a font scheme that you created, but you cannot change, delete, or rename a default font scheme. To change a font scheme, change the styles in your publication and then apply the styles to the font scheme. Rename a font scheme that you created In the Format Publications task pane, in Font Schemes, click the arrow next to the font scheme that you created, and then click Rename Scheme. In the Rename Font Scheme dialog box, type the new name for your font scheme. Delete a font scheme that you created In the Font Schemes task pane, click the arrow next to the font scheme that you created, and then click Delete Scheme. Change a font scheme that you created You can make changes to font schemes that you created, but these changes apply only to new publications that use these font schemes. On the Format menu, click Styles. In the Styles task pane, make changes to any styles that you want, and then click Font Schemes. For example, if you want to change the font of a heading, click some text that uses the heading style that you want to change. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click the arrow to the right of the style name that is selected, click Modify, click Font, and then select a different font. In the Format Publications task pane, in Font Schemes, click the arrow next to the font scheme that you want to change, and then click Update Scheme from Publication Styles. |

how to permanently change default font size in mspublisher
Mary, I followed the instructions to the "T" and still when I open Publisher
it did not save the font size I wanted. I did learn that I can go in and change "normal" to what I want for each publication, but I was hoping I could make the default be what I wanted everytime I opened an new Publisher document. Is this not possible? Any more ideas? Thanks for all your help.

Is this not possible? It is, that's the purpose of saving Normal.pub to the folder indicated. You still haven't told us what version of Publisher you are using. The instructions differ for Windows Vista; I'll modify the tutorial shortly. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

how to permanently change default font size in mspublisher
Thank you Mary. I'm using MSPublisher 2003. I ended up doing the link you
sent first and rereading it many times. I saved the folder to my desktop and it worked. I did had tried the latest one you sent me and I have downloaded that add in on my old program but when I go click on Brian Kvalheim's Web site all I got was a blank page. I was up until after midnight trying to figure it out and I think the desktop icon will work the best and I don't have to download any thing. Question: If I download the update and get Publisher 2007, will all my old files from Publisher 2003 run ok on it? I have Windows XP. Thanks for all your help.
