How to change the default text style?

The MacOS system seems to maintain a collection of text 'styles' available in applications such as TextEdit, Bean, MacJournal, Notebook and DevonThink. This collection contains a default style, used by some (but not all) of these applications as the default text style for new documents.
At my computers this default style is characterized in the 'favorite styles' panel as 'left aligned, spacing 0.0x' and it has strange tab stops (0.99, 1.98, 2.96, 3.95, 4.94, 5.93, 6.91, 7.90, 8.89, 9.89, 10.86, 11.85 cm).
I prefer tab stops at 1.00, 2.00, 3.00 etc., and 1.2x line spacing.
I guess I have changed the default style by accident, as I cannot imagine Apple putting such strange tab stops in a default style (0.0x spacing sounds a bit strange too). If so, it must somehow be possible to change the default style.
I have tried to change the default style via TextEdit (which does not use the default style as default, but spacing 1.0x and tab stop at each centimeter) and several other applications (Bean, MacJournal, Notebook) in the following way: select a piece of text with the intended format, open the document styles panel, click 'Add to Favorites', enter 'Default' as the name for the style and click 'Replace'. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Although I do not get an error message, the Default style hasn't changed. I can save my preferred style as, for example, 'Preferred' but that does not prevent MacJournal and other applications from using Default for every new document.
Any idea how to change this default style, or, if that is not possible, reset it to its original state?

I suggest you have a look at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stationery/?src=api Stationery].
It won't help you in defining styles, as such, but will give you templates wherein you can set up styles.

    Hi,
    please don't double post and instead continue with your original threat. In the previous post you got the correct answer to use skinning. You did not like the solution as it doesn't allow per-instance titles. I agree with this and a logical consequence is to file an enhancement request instead of re-posting the question. I'll file the ER, so no need to follow up for you anymore

  • How to change the default text "There are no items to show in this view" in the visual webpart

    Hi,
    I am using a visual webpart and in that if there are no items in the list it is showing the default text "There are no items to show in this view." I want to change this default text. 
    I checked the forums here there are multiple ways are shown but no one is working for me.
    Kindly help me to change this text.
    Thanks in advanced.

    It seems you're retrieving items inside a specific you.. why not having a <div> inside you're visual web part and check to see if the count of items retrieved is > 0 then insert that in the div, otherwise, insert your custom message and not rendering
    the web part itself. What you're describing is the default message from SharePoint which comes from default views, and this can be changed from xslt in SP 2010 or in JSLink in SP 2013, here's a link how to do so in JSLink :
    http://www.idubbs.com/blog/2015/jslink-csr-to-override-there-are-no-items-to-show-in-this-view/ .
    But as said, since you're doing a visual web part, keep your stuff in the visual web part and check for the count of items before adding the rendered data to your div.

  • How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on Mountain Lion

    How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on out going email with Mountain Lion

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like
    defaults
    Signature

  • How can i change the default text "Query by Example"

    Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0
    how can i change the default text *"Query by Example"* in a Panel Collection
    Thx

    Hi thieto,
    The label you are looking for is af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE*
    I'm currently writing a blogpost on this issue. In short, you will have to create a skin resource bundle.
    In the skin definition, refer to this bundle class.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
      <skin>
        <id>mySkin.desktop</id>
        <family>MySkin</family>
        <extends>blafplus-rich.desktop</extends>
        <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
        <style-sheet-name>skins/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
        <bundle-name>com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles.MySkinBundle </bundle-name>
      </skin>
    </skins>In this class, adjust the label text to your needs.
    package com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles;
    import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
    public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
      public MySkinBundle() {
        super();
    @Override
      public Object[][] getContents() {
        return _CONTENTS;
    static private final Object[][] _CONTENTS = {
         {"af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE","the text that you want"}

    Good luck

  • How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

    How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

    Colin,
    You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
    Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • How to change the default language?

    How to change the default language of the Ubuntu desktop and of the Firefox program to Norwegian or Danish?

    While this isn't the appropriate venue to ask about changing the default language in Ubuntu, the snide forum link above lazily fails to address the Firefox language issue, and unfortunately this link now comes up on the first page of google searches about the default language in firefox.
    To change Firefox's default language, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Content, and click the "Choose" button under the Languages heading.
    To change the default language of your spell checker, right click on any text area and find the "Languages" entry in the menu, then select the language of your choice.

  • How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview Annotation Note ?

    How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?
    Thanks for any help guys. Noteworthy is horrible, in my view. But this does not matter. I simply do not want to use it, and woudl be fine with having helvetica back as the annotation typeface.
    Neither is Preview responding to changes I attempt in the type menu, nor did I find an entry when using “defaults read com.apple.Preview” in the Terminal.
    Any idea? Cheers.

    Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:
    I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).

  • Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

    I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?
    dan

    You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

  • How to change the default Path of Prompt Played by MicroApp

    Hi
    I need to store all the Self Service application prompts in dedicated Media Server. I can modify location of all the Media files by passing the related URL form CVP application, however I need to know how to change the default location of Prompt file played by Play Media Microapplication in ICM Scripting.
    Currently the default location taken by Play Media Micro App is the Media _Server.variable path set for VXML Server location while I have a separate Media Server.
    Please advice how we can customize the MicroApp Media path.
    regards
    Kapil Kumar

    Hi Kapil,
    Try this in your ICM script, define set variables i.e.
    set Media Server= ip address of media server
    set Locale = en-us
    set input Type = DTMF only
    set App Media Lib = " you new location i.e. test "
    So, the application path will be
    http://media server ip address/en-us/test
    hope this helps.
