Text boxes Lenox 17.08.2006 00:55:01 Can I set the default properties for text boxes in MS Word 2003, i.e. border, background color,etc.

Re: Text boxes "Jezebel" <warcrimes[ at ]whitehouse.gov> 17.08.2006 03:16:36 Set up one manually exactly as you want it. Right-click its edge. Select 'Set Autoshape defaults'. Another approach is to define the formatted textbox as an autotext entry. This has the advantage that you can also define the style for the text within the box.

Re: Text boxes "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 17.08.2006 03:41:38 It also has the advantage that you don't change the defaults for *all* AutoShapes. Many users want text boxes with No Line and No Fill, but AutoShapes with No Line and No Fill are not much use. -- Suzanne S.

Re: Text boxes Lenox 18.08.2006 19:36:02 Thanks. I didn't know you could set a shape to be Autotext. Lenox "Jezebel" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Set up one manually exactly as you want it.
