Changing the default character formatting

The default character formatting settings can be changed at any time. This allows you, for example, to specify a font other than the default font.

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.Click on the group arrowgroup_arrow in the bottom right corner of the ribbon tab Home | group Character.
2.In the dialog box, set the character format (font, font size, etc.) that you want to save as the new default setting.
3.Important: Do not click on OK, but click on the Set as default button.
4.TextMaker asks you if you want to change the default settings only for the current document or for all new documents:
Change in this document only: If you select this option, the new default settings will affect only the current document.
Change for all new documents: If you select this option, the change is made not only in the current document, but also in the standard document template (Normal.tmvx). This means that all documents that you create will use these settings in future.
5.Make a choice and confirm with OK.
6.Confirm again with OK to exit the dialog box completely.

The default character formatting settings have now been changed accordingly.

Note for advanced users: From a technical point of view, nothing else happens here other than that TextMaker applies this setting to the "Normal" character style. For more information, see also Normal character style.
