Text font for all new textes

[aLilSheep]

Hello everyone,

I have a simple Problem, I'm New in inDesign.

If I create a new text its the basic font and I can normally change for example the colour from black to white before I start writing. But when I'm finished and want to create a second text it's black with the basic font again... How can I change that the settings will stay the same (example white colour) for every new text?

You should really learn how to use Paragraph Styles. Buy a book or follow online training on how to use InDesign, you need to learn the basics...

Already watched a 1h online training, which learned me all other basics but they didn't helped me out with my problem. If it's just a small problem, can you help me out anyway, please?

For the text to be White all the time- make the change before you start a new document.

This way - text will always be White for all new documents.

Paragraph & Character styles are the best way forward for you.
