We aren't mad. Why do you insist on having the same features of one program
built into another? Word is Word, Publisher is Publisher. Yes, they share
several of the same features but there are differences that make them
unique.

Starting out with a post that says, "How much longer must we wait before
Micorsoft (sic) allows us to set the default font in Publisher?" isn't the
friendliest way to start a positive conversation.

Why is every one in this discussion group so mad? I made a
comment that may have been wrong but it did not deserve
your comments. I still do not understand Micrsofts
inability to make this an option. that said I will try
AGAIN the add-in which I have tried on at least two
occasions. After I close Publisher the settings are no
longer there until I create a text bos and resave.

Every time you open pulisher you have to resave

the "default" text box
format. How hard good it be to have the option like in

Word?

I'm sorry, but you must not know how to use the add-in

properly. Follow
the tutorial. You don't have to resave the default text

box everytime.
You can set your settings in the registry (which is done

by the add-in
for you) so that when you open a blank Publication, you

click the default
button and your settings are there.
You should research before you make such comments.

JL if you managed to have any basic knowledge about things past you could
comment. However, you are a dumb person that has never bothered doing any
research, and would be incapable of doing the basic homework required. JL
now learn to shut your jaws until you have necessary knowledge. JL
uneducated fools like you should not be allowed to have an internet
connection or phone line. That would help save the world from imbeciles.
People should only be allowed to connect to the Internet with an IQ of 120
or newspaper editors. JL you with hovering around 50 would not stand a
chance.
Go to Iraq and help molest the Iraq prisoners along with the trash filth
scum slime US soldiers. Of course it is unlikely all those disgusting
depraved atrocities committed by US soldiers in Iraq are being shown

there.

Brian,

Also, one thing you may not have known is that the Publisher team

assumed that normal.pub was not really used back when they moved to
Publisher 98. However, I have attended some meetings with the Publisher
team recently, and they have heard loud and clear that the customer
would like to see this feature. The reason they know now is based on
feedback from this newsgroup, as well as when people look up DEFAULT
font/etc in the help box in Publisher 2003.

I know another company that took out this feature but it only took them
one version to put it back in. :-)

How is everyone mad? We would just assume that you are the mad one because
you called something a joke, yet you had not gone through and effectively
learned how to use the add-in.
Note that there are 4 buttons on the new toolbar (which you can customize
to make it smaller by removing the text from each button, then dock to
your other toolbars). One button will SET your defaults. THEN one button
will SAVE your defaults to the registry. Then one button is used to load
those defaults when you open a new publication. And the last button is
the Text Box button you use to create text boxes (no longer would you use
the text box button on the object toolbar). Once you have made your preferences,
set them, and saved them, you should no longer need to worry about those
buttons. Now you will just have the LOAD button and the Text Box button
to use.
Also, one thing you may not have known is that the Publisher team assumed
that normal.pub was not really used back when they moved to Publisher 98.

and they have heard loud and clear that the customer would like to see
this feature. The reason they know now is based on feedback from this newsgroup,
as well as when people look up DEFAULT font/etc in the help box in Publisher
2003. This information is sent to the Publisher team, and they are seeing
this request over and over. It's on the wish list for Publisher 12. Let's
hope it makes it.
Until then, I have worked with the Publisher team, as well as Ed Bennett
to create this Add-In that helps set a default font for future blank publications.
The only extra step you need to take is to click the one "Load" button
when you are opened to a blank publication.
Any questions, give us a yell.

Forutunately for Serif, they understood what a community was long ago.
It took this long for MS to understand who/what a community was :-(. It
took competition for them to finally listen after years of watching competitors
such as Linux move in. --

JL learn what features have been in Publisher in previous versions and have
been removed instead of dribbling diarrhoea all over the place here.

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Ron
!"...
No! Imean like in Word. The add-in you mentioned is a joke
at best.


Thank you. Please feel free to insult my work without even bothering to
read the instructions.
You do not need to resave the default settings. You merely have to load them
from the registry. That is so that you do not automatically get the
settings - if you want, you can return to Publisher's defaults.

And to answer your question, it would be more difficult to have an option
like in Word, as Publisher 2002 and 2003 do not support a normal document
template like Word does.

Please feel free to accuse me of being mad. I acknowledged a long time ago
that I was mad, and learned to live with it. However, before I dive in and
accuse products of a joke directly to the person that made them, I generally
try and research how to use the products and whether there are workarounds.
