I have read elsewhere that "if you have text in an object, you can save the text style as a default. Select the text, click Font on the Format menu, and then select the Default for new objects check box." But in Word 04 for Mac I don't find this option, so I had to create a style that I have to apply each time I create a text box. fantastic. apparently it doesn’t set the formatting for the text in the box, though.
