Template Default Font

[planebook]

Newbie here - is there a way to set the default font for a whole document so that when you open the paragraph designer it has your chosen font in the drop-down instead of Times New Roman?  My company uses only Arial and it's annoying to have to change the Times New Roman each time I'm designing a new template.

Thanks in advance

Search Help > Help Topics 'custom document template' without quotes for information on changing the default template. Whatever paragraph format is applied at the starting insertion point position is the one that appears in new documents.

Thanks!  That worked perfectly.

I'm not sure if this is what you need, but there is a document in the fminit

folder called "custom" (with no extension). If you open it with FrameMaker--

create a backup first-- and change the fonts in the various default styles,

they will be the new defaults for those styles when you create a new

document. Perhaps someone can elaborate more on this as I'm not very

familiar with making changes there.
