Can I change default text size in CS5

Every new document seems to open with a default text size of 12 pt. (or 0.167 inches). I am a sign maker and my typical artboard size is often 120" x 120" or larger.
Is there a way to change the default text size so that new documents open with a text size of, say, 1 inch (or 3 inches, etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Duncan McLean

Open the New Document Profile that you use the most (from HD>Users><yourname>>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Adobe Illustrator CS5>en_US>New Document Profiles) or the equivalent path in Windows. Then go to Window>Type>Character Styles and double click on the [Normal Character Style] at the top of the list and modify the settings there to your liking. Save the document and restart AI.

Can i change macbook text size

can i chinge the text size.

In almost any application, you can easily change the size of the text within an application window with a simple menu command or keystroke combination. Command+ and Command- work in many apps, including most web browsers.You can't change the size of the text in menu bars or dialog boxes, or in the tool palettes and toolbars of many apps.

Can you change default text reader from TextEdit?

I use Bean, a great (and free) text editor, and would like to have it open automatically as my default text editor when I click on a text file, rather then TextEdit. Can that be set somewhere? Thanks.

If it were in Preference in addition to telling the system the application to use you would also have to tell which files you wish to make the change on. This way with File Information pane open, the system alreay knows where to make the change.
Beside the information about default application is maintained in the metadata for the file and not in preference for Finder. If you think about it that way, you can see that there is some logic to the way Apple does it.
You are welcome. Glad I could help. Thanks for the star.

Can't change default block size in dbca

10.1.0.3
solaris
I am using the dbca to create a database. When I go to the sizing screen and try to change the default block size this option is always greyed out at 8k.
does anyone know why? this happens even when i pick a data warehouse template.

There is a reason Oracle uses 8K as the default database block size for their warehouse template. Changing the default block size to a larger size generally does not result in better performance when both databases are allocated the exact same SGA memory allocations.

How can I change default text in the invitation e-mail?

Hi
Is there anyone that knows how to change the default text in
the e-mail invitations? I want to change the english text to
somthing in my language.

I have wondered that myself... I have even asked... everyone
says it's not an option. I could be wrong... I would have to defer
to the Adobe guys. I am on Connect everyday doing something with
curriculum. I have found several issues that I wish Adobe would
correct or add. I see that the new service pack has addresses one
of them (custom reports) although, I still see bugs.
I would love to be part of the their team that works toward
making it better.
Changing notifications is one thing. As far as language, that
is a different issue.

IWork '09 Change Document default text size

New to iWork. Is there a way to change the default text size in iWork '09 without doing the highlighting thing? I want all text in all documents to be the same size & type.
Thanks
John

You will need to create and save your own template, set to whatever you want.
The default style is Body :
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
+Select some text > style it as you wish > Styles Drawer > click on the red triangle next to Body > Redefine style from selection+
Save as Template and set that to open by default in Pages' Preferences.

Cmd brings up dashboard, can I change it? I used to use it to change the text size in Pages

Upgraded to lion and all is good. However, cmd+ has been hyjacked by the OS to bring up the dashboard. I use cmd+ and cmd- to change the text size in Pages. Is there a way to change the Lion keyboard shortcuts to get the functionality back for Pages? The cmd- still works to reduce text size in Pages, so it's even more frustrating that cmd+ does something else.
thanks in advance

Well on my MBP running Lion 10.7.2 Command+ or - does not do anything, and that is using either Command+ or Command(+ shift)+. I do not have pages installed.
The point is that Command+ and Command- should control the text size in Pages (we're not talking about any othr program, just Pages). Those are hard-set (programmed in the software) keyboard commands for Pages.
In Pages, Command+ should increase the text size, and not bring up the Dashboard. And that is the OP's problem - that command is bringing up Dashboard, which it should not do. Apparently there is some setting somewhere that is causing Command+ to do the wrong thing - and that's what we're trying to find.
So at least on my MBP Command+ certainly does not bring up the Dashboard....
Good - it's not supposed to, nor is that what the OP wants.
By the way, if you use Safari and/or Mail, you'll find that Command+ and Command- adjust the text size in those programs. Ditto Numbers, TextEdit, Bean, and many other programs - it's a fairly common assignment, hence not one which usually needs to be added via Keyboard Shortcuts.

Default text size in Compressor is too small for normal human eye

Is there any way to change the text size in Compressor 4 in the windows? I can't find any.
The normal default text size is way too small for any normal human being eye to read clearly.
Please, have mercy on us, whoever designed the tiny fonts! Not fair to the rest of us . . .

Well, guess we folk with not-too-good vision will simply have to keep on trucking the best we can, eh? We can't enlarge text, so as a result we can't use software like Compressor like the rest of the population. Sad to say, especially with a company like Apple . . .
Yeah, well I gave the Apple Compressor Team my feedback, just like I've done the last 3 months with other things, then of course the feedback from us all melts into the either, and we never really know if anyone reads it, like they say. Me thinks not. This is the only feedback I'll ever get, I'm afraid:

How to increase/decrease text size in CS5?

I came straight from DW MX and in CS5 if I want to, for example, change the font size just for one line in an article already published, I don't see a way to do it. At the bottom under Properties, I can select "CSS" and see the font size, but it wants me to create a CSS. I have two text lines in different cells in one table, and I want them to match, and I don't want the rest of the text on the webpage to change. Yet it seems that I have to create a new CSS if I so much as breathe hard.
Is there a way to just change the text size without having to jump through all these CSS steps, which I don't like nor want?

The paradigm of web creation has completely changed and I completely feel your pain.
Nowadays, instead of saying <make this font big make this font italic make this font red>This is the big red text</end all of the make this font stuff individually>
we create a separate style sheet that has the following:
.fontstyle-for-big-and-red {
     font: big;
     color: red;
     font: Italic;
Then we call the style:
<class="fontstyle-for-big-and-red">This is the big red text</class>
Here is the advantage of that:
You make the definitions for the change of text once and then you can use it often in your website without needing to re-create all of those inline styles.
Web browsers load up your styles once and hold them in their cache, so your web page renders faster.
You don't have a ton of inline style stuff in your website cluttering up your content so search engines can really find what you want to talk about in your website.
With time, defining these styles makes repeated page production a snap.
Now, I will be the first to admit that there is a learning curve with all of this. And it is going to take you some time to change the way you work. But, you'll make better websites and, after you have learned all of this stuff, it will be easier for you.
Your schedule being packed, you might consider hiring someone who does know this to cut down on some of the workload while you learn this.

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

I can't change the type size in a link with contribute

When I edit a web page with Contribute and create a link, it changes the text size in the link. Nothing I can do will let me change it. I have looked at page properties, changed the font, etc., nothing works. Please help!

The links may be controlled by the sites CSS file. Have you looked at that?
It would look similar to this:
a:link {
color: #006666; border-bottom:1px dotted #006666;text-decoration: none

Where can I change the buffer size for LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)?

Hi all,
I'd a problem on the buffer size the "LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)" as follow:
2801 : 72000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04020: found record longer than buffer size supported, 524288, in D:\OraHome_1\oracledi\demo\file\PARTIAL_SHPT_FIXED_NHF.dat
Do you know where can I change the buffer size?
Remarks: The size of the file is ~2Mb.
Tao

Hi,
The behavior is explained in Bug 4304609 .
You will encounter ORA-29400 & KUP-04020 errors if the RECORDSIZE clause in the access parameters for the ORACLE_LOADER access driver is larger than 10MB and you are loading records larger than 10MB. Which means their is a another limitation on read size of a record which is termed as granule size. If the default granule size is less then RECORDSIZE it limits the size of the read buffer to granule size.
Use the pxxtgranule_size parameter to change the size of the granule to a number larger than the size specified for the read buffer.You can use below query to determine the current size of the granule.
SELECT KSPFTCTXPN PARAMETER_NUMBER,
KSPPINM PARAMETER_NAME,
KSPPITY PARAMETER_TYPE,
KSPFTCTXVL PARAMETER_VALUE,
KSPFTCTXDF IS_DEFAULT,
KSPPIFLG MODIFICATION_FLAG,
KSPFTCTXVF VALUE_FLAG
FROM X$KSPPI X, X$KSPPCV2 Y
WHERE (X.INDX+1) = KSPFTCTXPN AND
KSPPINM LIKE '%_px_xtgranule_size%';
There is no 'ideal' or recommended value for pxxtgranule_size parameter, it is safe to increase it to work around this particular problem. You can set this parameter using ALTER SESSION/SYSTEM command.
SQL> alter system set "_px_xtgranule_size"=10000;
Thanks,
Sutirtha
