Digital Workshop

In The Lounge, Fred pointed out the joys of the new Text Default.

But I can't make it work...

When I copy the text to the gallery, I then right-click, but the "Set as Default Object" option is greyed out.

It works for images and buttons, but not text.

Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

Linda, I don't think the feature is available for Text Defaults on the toolbar flyouts.

There is for Frames however, and if you insert your customised text into a frame, then make that frame a default, the text will become a default in the Frame's flyout toolbar. This may be a bit cumbersome to attain a text default, but at least this method is there and can come in handy.

The Flyout defaults are a terrific features in 05.

Steve is right, it has never been possible to put Text Defaults on the toolbar flyouts. You can set the defulats for text in the tools Options.

I stand corrected.

In place of changing the Defaults for Text Objects, just create one, then customize it; then copy it into one of your Galleries. You can have a totally customized "look" for each different Text Object situation -- all ready to go in your Components Gallery.

When you need a Title, go to your Gallery and select the Title Text Object. Main text? Same thing. This speeds your development process AND it gives you uniformity throughout your text.
