Change default magnification of new documents?

When I have a document displaying at 100% on my 24" iMac, it doesn't display at anywhere near 100%. This can be proven by holding up a piece of paper next to the display. An AppleWorks document set up as 8 1/2 x 11 in Page View has to be magnified to about 130% to be the same size onscreen as an actual 8 1/2 x 11 document.
Why is this? Is it because of the higher resolution of the monitor? I still don't see why this should matter. Actual size should mean actual size.
This being the case, is there any way to set AppleWorks so that new documents will be displayed at 130% by default?

AppleWorks was originally written to display at 100% on a screen with a fixed dot pitch of 72 dpi. The code to accommodate a variety of screen resolutions was never implemented (and probably never written).
You can create a default template with your own parameter settings, including default magnification.
Open a new word processing document and set the parameters as you want them to be, then press command-S.
Click the Template radio button at the bottom of the Save dialogue. AppleWorks will navigate to the Templates folder where this should be saved.
Name the document "AppleWorks WP Options" (without the quotes). AW will supply the correct extension.
Click Save.
New WP documents will adopt the parameters you set for this template.
The process is similar for other types of AW documents; substitute the two letter code that shows in the title bar for "WP" in the instructions above.

Change default magnification of PDF

Hi,
i create an PDF with the usual functional moduls and display it in WD4A.
by default I get a magnification of 138%, but I would like to see the document in 100% size.
Can I somehow set this as default? I somehow did not found anything under "preferences" in the form designer.
Thanks!

Hello you two!
Thanks for the answers! If its not possible its also good to know and of course I will tell the users to change their properties by themselve locally if they want to have 100% by default.
Otto: I will try it out just to serve my natural curiosity. But I assume that these changes need to be done after each generation of the form and I thing thats maybe what the users want me to do but what I dont want
Thanks again for your appreciated help guys!

Change defaults for Desktop and Documents dirs

I just installed Solaris10 and JDS3 on my standalone SPARC machine. I see that two new directories are created, ${HOME}/Desktop/ and ${HOME}/Documents/. I want to change these defaults to hidden directories, ${HOME}/.Desktop/ and ${HOME}/.Documents/, but I cannot find the configuration file under ${HOME} or any other root-accessible directory to change these defaults?
I also cannot seem to get rid of some small "language" windows that come up, e.g., with lines like [English/European]. Are these part of xterm windows?
Thanks.

AFAIK there's currently no way to configure these... and if you just try to delete or rename them, they'll be recreated the next time you log in. I'm afraid you'll probably just have to live with them until we (and/or the GNOME community) address this in a future release.

These are part of the input method framework, to show you which input method is active for the current window. IIRC, they will disappear if you add the input method switcher applet to your panel, or you log in using the C locale. On Linux, as a last resort you can also just uninstall the GNOME input method packages, not sure off-hand which package(s) these correspond to on Solaris though.

Change Default for Open New Template File In Adobe Illustrator

How can I change the default folder when trying to "Open From Template".
When I use the open from template it defaults to the template folder in the program folders.
I want to change the default folder to a different location.
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2

Here's how to have your templates available in the "File New From Template" in Adobe Illustrator for Windows.
What you need to have
Administrator access to your machine.
What you need to know
The default directory for Adobe Illustrator templates is here (for CS5.1)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
The default Windows security doesn't allow shortcuts to be created directly under that directory.
You can, however, create the shortcut indirectly!
What you need to do
In Summary
Create one (or multiple) folder shortcut(s) in the default Illustrator template directory.
In Detail
Open Illustrator
Select File -> New From Template
Drop down the "Look in" drop-down, note the directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to that directory
Open another Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where you keep your templates.
Right-click-drag your folder from the second Explorer (your directory) to the first Explorer (default templates) and drop.
Select "Create shortcut" from the right-click popup menu that appears when you "drop" (release the mouse button).
Windows will display a message "Shortcut cannot be created here, do you want to create it on the desktop".
Select Yes.
Move the directory shortcut to the Illustrator to the first Explorer (default templates directory)
Windows will ask for Administrator permissions.
Select Yes.
You can right-click on the template shortcut and rename it without the " - Shortcut" suffix; you'll have to grant Administrator permissions for that as well.
After completing these steps, your template shortcut will appear properly and you can select it. Happy designing!

How do you change default settings for Pdf document viewing?

Somehow the default setting for all my PDF documents and photos is now ColorSync. How do I change the main default setting, which I think should be Safari?

The default is Preview, and you change it thus:
Select a pdf file, rightclick and select 'Get Info', in the pane that opens scroll down to the section marked 'Open With', select Preview and check the box to 'Change All'

Change default icon for new VI ?

Hi all,
When I open a new VI, it comes with the default icon here :
Is there a way to modify this default icon ? I assume the "untitled.vi" comes from a template, so if I can find this template and modify its icon then there I am..
But if so, where can I find this template ?
Thanks for any help

I don't believe that the new VI comes from a template. Many such things do in LabVIEW, but I would guess this operation is built into the LabVIEW source code itself. I could be wrong there. My only other suggestion for helping to automate this is to put a blank template VI of your choice in the LabVIEW\project folder. Then create a launcher VI that opens a reference to this VI for template editing as shown below. Put this in your project folder as well.Now you have a direct menu option (i.e. Tools >> Launch Template...) for opening a new specialized template. I was hoping you could actually assign a specific shortcut to this menu option (for instance, Ctrl+N), since you can customize shortcuts in LabVIEW 8.x, but unfortunately this only applies to built-in menu options, not user VIs.

Change the default magnification in preferences to fit width does not stay as default

How to make preferences keep "fit width" as the default magnification?

Some documents include a setting that will override what you set as the default zoom, but you can override this document setting with the override zoom setting in the Accessibility preference section.

Changing Default user Preferences in Workspace

I am using HFM 9.3.1. Each time I set up a new user I have to get them to log in, and go through the following routine..
Go to File>Preferences. Then Select Financial Reporting on the left side of the preferences window. Under the Preview heading on the screen are two radio buttons for On and Off. Select On and click OK.
Does anyone know how to change the default setting on this Preference to On?

From the workspace administrators manual, the directions are:
Assigning Reporting and Analysis Default Preferences
User Management Console enables users with Provisioning Manager and Explorer roles to set
the default folder, new document folder, and start page application preferences for users and
groups. Individual and group preferences have precedence over default preferences.
For default preferences to succeed, users and groups must have the roles and permissions
necessary to access specified folders and interface elements.
Provisioning Manager is a Shared Services role that enables you to provisions users and groups
to applications. It is also required for setting default user preferences for Reporting and Analysis.
For more information, see the Hyperion Security Guide.
➤ To assign default preferences for Reporting and Analysis:
1 Select Navigate > Administer > User Management.
2 Log on to User Management Console with a user name provisioned with Provisioning Manager and Explorer
roles.
3 Expand the Projects node until a Reporting and Analysis application is displayed.
4 Right-click the application name and select Assign Preferences.A three-step wizard is displayed in the Process bar.
5 For step 1 of the Wizard, Select Users, select Available Users or Available Groups.
6 From the left panel, select user names or group names and click the right arrow.
To select consecutive names, select the first name, press and hold down Shift, and select the last
name. To select names that are not consecutive, press and hold down Ctrl, and select each item.
Use Add All to select all names.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to select a combination of users and groups.
8 When all user and group names are displayed in Selected Users and Groups, click Next.
9 For step 2 of the Wizard, Manage Preferences, specify these default preferences for the selected users and
groups:
Managing Users 41
● Default Folder—Repository location of the default folder.
● New Document Folder—Default folder in which the new document wizard searches for
valid data sources, that is, Web Analysis database connection files and Interactive Reporting
documents.
● Start Page—Reporting and Analysis interface displayed after logging on. Select None,
Explore, Document, Favorite, or Scorecard.
If you select Explore or Document for Start Page, you must specify a repository location.
10 When all preferences are specified, click Next.
11 For step 3 of the Wizard, Finish, choose between three tasks:
● To configure options for another application, select one from the View pane.
● To change preferences for currently selected users and groups, click Back.
● To specify another set of users and groups and set their preferences, click Continue.

How do I change default style in TextEdit?

How do I change the default style in TextEdit -- that is, the style that a new document will automatically have? (In particular I want new docs to have certain ruler and spacing parameters.)
I know how to add favorite styles and remove them -- but want to change the default style so that I don't have to select my favorite every time I create a new rtf document in TextEdit or other programs.
I suspect this is simple -- but I can't figure it out or find it anywhere. EXTREMELY obliged for any solution.
Thanks,
Dave

That will change the default for all new documents. That's the most formatting control avaiable in Text Edit. For more control over your docs try Apple Pages, neoOffice or MSWord.

Problems W/ "W3C Validators" -Do I Have To Upgrade, Or Can I Manually Fix Code In Each New Document?

I am having some trouble with "Validators" (BTW, using an older version of Macromedia DreamWeaver MX from 2002 I think) and wonder if I need an upgrade or I can just simply manually change the code that is put there by default when a new document is created? (It seems to be "breaking the linters" when I try to share those pages to Facebook, for example.)

Hi and thank you!
I forgot to mention that I'm on a Mac, and that "free Expression Web" link would probably show me what code I need to manually update (each time I create a new document). Would you be willing to tell me what part of this (old) code is wrong? New document default code is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The Vaildator keeps showing me this main error (among others) - which I do not have the savvy to understand:
The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from the value in the <meta> element (iso-8859-1). I will use the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation.
It shows that error even on a page containing *only* the code that I shared with you above.

Change border presets on formatted document.

I am not sure the presets on my first eight chapters are within Blurb's limits. When I try to change them for a document the change just defaults to a new document.
I found a way to adjust the presets on my first 8 chapters, but i still don't know if the conform to Blurb. Do I even need concern myself with Blurb until the book is ready to print?

I cannot help you change it. But you can crop the documents to letter size using the crop tool. BTW, I alway annoyingly recommend not using Acrobat to scan, but to use the native software that comes with the scanner. Most scanners can scan to pdf and/or TIFF. If it scans to pdf, you get all of the benefits of the scanner software rather than using tools that get filtered to a badly written twain or Windows driver written ask a quick hack by the scanner company.

Start new document with view at 100%?

Every time I start Pages a new document is zoomed at 125%. I created a template that I use all the time & set the view zoomed at 100% before I saved it.
But every time I create new blank document (or new document from my template) it's zoomed at 125%.
Is it possible to set it so that a new blank document, or a new one from my template starts up at 100%?

You can set the default zoom for new documents & those opened from templates in Pages > Preferences in Pages 2 & 3. Pages 1/iWork '05 does not have this setting.

Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

I've looked and looked, and even Googled. Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file? In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser.

I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues. However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content. I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference. This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

Can the default text in new Pages documents be changed? if so how?

Can I change the default font style in Pages? If so how? I want all documents I wish to create to open in a new font.

Hi Sheila,
Open a new blank document from Template Chooser. Set the font and anything else you want as your standard, then File > Save As Template.
Then in Pages > Preferences > General > For new documents > Use Template > Choose
Then when you open Pages from the Dock (or LaunchPad if your system has that) you will get a blank document based on that template. Same when you go to File > New (command n)

Ian.
