How do I set a new default font in CS6 for ALL documents

I've seen in many discussions on here how to change the default font for new documents, but no one has addressed the idea of how to make it so that you have a preferred default font that overrides Myriad for any document you open. Is that even possible? I receive files from many different sources and most people just stick with Myriad. I need to change that font constantly in documents to Helvetica Bold and want the type tool to just stay there unless I manually change it myself. Any ideas?

mrsmeed,
You may follow the instructions here (follow the link with that name, and remember to work on the preference file with illy closed):
Working with the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file
You may try with Helvetica-Bold (instead of just Helvetica for Helvetica Regular); as you can see there may be a bit of trial and error to find the exact name.
If you do, I should be thankful if you will report back so I can add the right name in that hint.

    I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
    I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
    I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
    Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  • Why does TextEdit revert to Helvetica 12 even after you set a new default font whenever you drop an image into an RTFD?

    Anyone know a workaround for when TextEdit reverts to Helvetica 12 even after you set the new default to say Verdana 14 every time your drop an image into an RTFD? Kind of defeats the purpose! Is there a way around this? THANKS!

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Set a new default font?

    I was wondering if there was a way to change the default font from Helvetica to Times New Roman. Meaning, that I want it so that I can open up Pages and type away in Times New Roman without changing the font.

    Change the styles in a template and set Pages to use that template by default.

  • How do I set a new default text tone on my ipod4g?

    I have an ipod touch 4g, and I use the messages app alot. I wanted a new ringtone so I went on Itunes and bought Rues whistle ringtone from the hunger games movie. I went on contacts and set the new ring tone on all of the contacts, making sure to click save, but for some reason it only uses the Tritone. I want to know how to change this. Please reply.

    Go to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and see if you can change it there also.

  • How can I set a new default app for .flac

    10.6.8
    This doesn't work:
    To change the application that opens a document:
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an application from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different application.
    If  you want to use that application to open all documents of the same type  as the current document and created by the same application, click  Change All.
    There is no "open with" section in "Get Info"
    I  have seen an open with dialog when clicking a file but it's not now  happening. One app (Wave pad--- trial)was selected, trash that app and  another (Audacity) is now default. I was never asked. I can change one  at a time in Get Info (Select New Original) but can't find a Change All option.
    Any ideas?

    If you do a Get Info (Control click and choose get info), you do not get a window like this with the choices I've circled?

  • #*$!%! Can't figure out how REALLY to set the printing defaults so they STICK for everything

    PLEASE DON'T REPLY HERE.  PLEASE REPLY TO MY IDENTICAL POST AT 
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Software&thread.id=5348
    On our 6-month old HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, we can't seem to figure out how to set the DEFAULT printing parameters so they really apply to all docs (unless we designate otherwise for a particular doc, of course).  When we set them, sometimes they work for the next doc, and sometimes they revert back to an earlier setting.
    There seem to be three ways to set parameters for the printer: Properties, Printing Preferences or Printing Defaults on the Advanced tab.  (We really thought Printing Defaults on the Advanced tab would do it, since it's so hard to find, but ... NOT.)
    My partner thinks it's an HP conspiracy to sell more ink because the reversion is to General with Color (the most ink-intensive, as far as I can figure out).  We are trying to fix the machine to start always with Fast-Economical/Black Ink Only.  Sometimes it's there and sometimes we have to re-jigger first.  We still have to check every time.
    Also, I want to fix every job to "Print Back to Front" because the printer shoots out the pages face up.  Again, sometimes it's there, and sometimes we have to re-set before the job.
    Also, whether we get the default we had set or we re-jigger first, the settings don't stick for every worksheet in an Excel workbook.  Or sometimes not even every page. 
    So, who out there has the 100% foolproof guide to NAILING DOWN THOSE SETTINGS FOR EVERYTHING?

  • Defaulting the decimal ntoation for all internet webshop users

    Hi,
    is there any way (other than su01-as BASIS has not given any of us access to this transaction) to control the default decimal notation that the users see in transactions?
    As of now, the default decimal notation of 1.234.567,89 visible to the users. We want to change it to 1,234,567.89. But rather than doing it for each user by going to su01 and Defaults, we want to know if we can control this at organization level itself so the new default is picked up for all existing and new users.
    thanks for any replies in advance.

    It is a part of master data and sap user maintenance. It will always be a Basis / business team responsibility. Yes, developers will not have access to SU01. That doesn't mean that you should start writing programming for something you don't have to.
    Tell the business team  what they have to do with the basis team. If there are plenty of (1000s of ) users and they want some automated procedure to update the information in SU01, then help them writing a small piece of code to change the required data.

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

    i was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

    How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

    Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function.  Contact your carrier to see if they have this option.  If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name.  Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.
