Objects And Animations

[David White]

There are no specific guidelines in the user guide on use of the text facility in the "Objects and Animations" Window. In particular I wanted to change the default font.

I looked right through the user guide but could find no information on the details of the text button in the Properties tag.

I did notice the "Save and use by default" facility but it appeared to be "greyed out" and didn't react when clicked - so I assumed it hadn't done anything.

I think it would be helpful if the guide covered all the facilites in this dialogue box and the appearance of the button to set the default text improved to make its function more obvious.

I agree - just for general information:

The Save and Use by Default when clicked saves "all" the current parameters including: left, center, right justification, sharpness, line spacing, bold, underline or italics, and font. There is no indication that anything has happened, but when this line is clicked all current settings are saved and used by default until changed and re-saved.

A little "pop-up" saying "saved" or some indication that something has happened would be helpful as would better documentation in the user guide.

Best regards,

With a general "Preferences" page coming in 7.5, perhaps we should hope to see the default font included there.
