Default settings on pages

Does anyone know how to set a default font? I never like the ones in the templates.

The default font is the one in the Body paragraph style.
Select a sample of Body style text, change the font to what you want, click on the red triangle next to "Body" > Redefine style from selection.
Then +Menu > File > Save as Template…+
+Menu > Preferences > General > For New Documents: > Use template: > Choose… > My Templates > select your new template+

Default settings in Reader

Hi,
Wher can you make default settings for page browsing in Adobe Reader? I remember being prompted to do this on an occasion after installing Adobe Reader. Now, I want to change the setting for page browsing but cannot find the place to do so.
Thankful for a hint

I am getting the exact same issue, could someone please explain what is happening here.
Thank you.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
Hope that helps.

Apple Pages Document inspector default settings

I got nowhere with the explanation on how to change the default settings in Apple Pages Inspector>Document inspector: I want .25 inch margins and no Headers or Footers: please specify Menu, menu item and precise selections in, e.g., Pages Preferences

Okay, I got it. And here's the kind of precision I need to be helped: in Pages, create a new document, open the Inspector, go to the first choice on the left, Document inspector, placing the cursor over the first item on the left identifies that selection on a yellow label, make your selections there, in my case .25 inches for all the margins and uncheck the Headers and Footers boxes, I don't want headers or footers; go to the File menu at the top left of the screen, select Save as Template..., name the file, indicate where you want to store it and Save it, go to the Pages menu at the top left of the screen, select Preferences..., that will open the General Preferences screen, select the first item at the top, General, if it's not already selected, select the second item if it's not already selected, Use template: [the name you gave the document you just saved might appear here] and click Choose, select My Templates at the bottom of the screen, which may already be selected, select the template you just set up, and click Choose. Close the General Preferences window. I set up two templates, the original template provided by Apple, and mine. To change the Inspector document default settings, I go to the Pages menu, select Preferences..., select the second choice, Use template, click Choose, select My Templates, select whichever template I want for my documents, and click Choose. All new documents will now be formatted according to the default settings I just selected for Inspector>Document inspector.
Here's a related item I don't get: Page Setup... the third item, Paper Sizes, last choice, Manage Custom Sizes.. allows you to choose the margins you want in the custom setup you've selected. But it doesn't apply those margins to the document you're working in even though it will apply the page dimensions you've chosen. You have to go to the Pages Inspector>Document inspector and make the margin changes there. Why offer the choice in Page Setup if the choice doesn't work? It would save time if it did.

Pages. How Do You Change Default Settings?

Is it possible to set new defaults to shapes and fonts without having to start over with a new template?
I've got too many Pages files and would like to see the defaults changed in these.

Here is how you change the default font in Pages '09.

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6

Fortunately you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Audition to do this - although that's certainly an option. Bear in mind that doing this will only work if you choose to delete your preferences as part of the process.
There are several other options though, and I suggest reading through all of them before deciding which to use. We'll start, though, with the other simple one. If you start Audition with the 'shift' key held down, this will achieve the same result - the preference files won't be read, and the default (aka 'vanilla') ones will be reinstated. Certainly with a Mac (and probably a PC as well) you have to hold the 'shift' key down at least until the splash screen appears, otherwise it might not work.
From here on, it gets a little more complicated, but you get more options. The reason for this is that in order to get at the individual preference files, we have to consider three different operating systems, XP, Windows 7, and OS X. By default, in all of them, the location of these files is hidden, and you have to reveal it. When you have done this, the path and files will be revealed.
Revealing hidden folders:
XP: In a folder, go to Tools>Folder Options>View and scroll down to the hidden folders entry. Select the 'Show' option. The path to the Preferences folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Windows 7: In a folder, go to Organise>Folders and Search Options>View, and then it's the same as XP. The path to the Preferences folder is c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0
Mac OX: The Preferences are in a library folder, and are apparently stored twice. The locations of them are:
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
/Users/[User_Name]/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Audition.5.0.plist
There is a note about this at the end of this FAQ*.
Anyway, there are, apparently, several ways to unhide them:
1. The easiest way to get there without opening Terminal is to open Finder or click on your desktop, click Go in the menu bar, then hold down the OPTION/ALT key. You should see Library appear in the menu as long as your holding that key and clicking the menu item will bring it up in Finder.
2. Use Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder>Go>Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory. When you have finished manipulating the relevant parts of it, close this window and the folder will no longer be visible.
3. To make the Library folder visible permanently (like in OS 10.6 and earlier), open the Terminal application and use the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
What do you have to do when you've revealed the folder?
The basic idea is that if Audition opens, and it doesn't find a particular file in the preferences folder, it recreates it. So, you can either delete all the files in it (the same as Shift+open), or you can be more selective. Primarily there are three .xml files that you are interested in, and if you are only having a problem with one of them, then that's the only one you need to delete.
Application Settings - deleting this will restore most of the settings in the program itself back to defaults
Effect Presets - deleting this will restore default settings, but if you have made any of your own presets, you will lose these too.
Favorites - the same as Effect Presets, only for the Favorites list.
There is also an .xml file for Machine-specific settings, but this only affects your sound device, and generally would be rewritten anyway if anything changed, so generally doesn't need to be touched. Mainly it's the three I mention above that are the ones you will be interested in.
* A note from Durin about the Mac preferences files:
"The directory path, ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/ is where we store all the preferences, presets, workspaces, log files, etc. Anything and everything a user may need access to. The .plist file is more of an application/OS level preferences - similar to an ini or registry entry in that it's less user-facing and more preferences for how the application works with the OS. In Audition's case, this stores information such as the last directory accessed, File Open/Save dialog dimensions, and other mysterious prefs that are just random GUIDs that Audition and OS X understand.
In either case, if the directory or .plist is missing, it will be rebuilt on launch to the first-launch defaults."

The success of setting the correct cassette will depend on the applications you use. If the apps are set to use any cassette, rather than call a particular cassette, then making cassette 2 the default will succeed. But if the app calls cassette 1, then no amount of driver default settings will help. So in this case, you will have more success if you create another preset for printing to cassette 2, then you can ensure you select this preset when you want to print on plain paper. And of course you can select the envelope preset when you want to do this.
If you do want to look at modifying the printer defaults, this can be done via the CUPS web page.
To access CUPS, open Safari and type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
This will open the CUPS Printer administration page and will show all the printers currently configured on the Mac. For the printer that you wish to change the defaults for, click its name in the Queue Name column.
Clicking the printer name will open the printer administration page for that printer. Here you need to click on the Administration drop menu and then select Set Default Options.
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General. Scroll down the list until you find an entry like "Paper Source" or something similar that shows the cassettes and select Cassette 2.
With the option selected you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button. Click this button and you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
Now you can open an application and select to print and then check the appropriate paper source menu to see if cassette 2 is the default.

Setting default language in Pages '09

Is there a way of setting the default language in Pages '09?
Each time I want to begin a new document that is not from my templates, I have to change the language to Australian English. With MS Word it was not a problem to change the default language.
I read in another post to change the settings in the international pane of the system preferences. My iMac no longer has that option.
Thanks for your assistance.

I read in another post to change the settings in the international pane of the system preferences. My iMac no longer has that option.
10.6 just changed the name from "international" to "language & text". Go to system prefs/language & text/languages and move Australian English to the top of the list. Also in system prefs/language & text/text/spelling set it to Austrialian English.

Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.

My Firefox version is up to date, I restored Firefox to default settings, restarted, I downloaded latest version of Flash and it will not run, it crashes..

Mac, OSX 10.6.8 (up to date), Firefox 28.0 (up to date). Adobe Flash was downloaded and no videos will run on any web pages using Firefox. I reset Firefox to default settings and restarted. I get the message that Adobe Flash has crashed. Shut computer down, rebooted. Same thing. Uninstalled Flash and the videos run but very choppy, jumping in 5 second increments after freezing. Firefox freezes and has to be force quit. Installed an older version of Flash and it will run, but I get a warning that it is vulnerable. I have gone through this several times and checked all my updates and they are the latest available. Videos do not run on the latest version of Safari either.

Downgrade to FlashPlayer 12.
I will add a link to a related post later. Flash 13 causes problems, and is a known issue with some older MAC s.

How to silently install and set default settings

I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.

Adobe Document Services - Default Settings

Hi there
We are providing users with the functionality to print their reports through PDF. This functionality is working almost perfectly (apart from the irritating fact that multi line cell headings are not printed), but what I have been requested to change now are the default settings that are displayed when the download starts.
There is a screen that asks for the theme that should be used, and more importantly, the page layout ... it would be great if we could change those default settings, but I don't know where that is done ... any ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Not sure if this blog maybe of use... (it relates to XI and Adobe Document Service, but running on NW2004s)

Any hacks to modify default settings in common adjustment settings?

Hey folks, I've just recently upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and am (thankfully) seeing many improvements both in performance and features.
However, it seems that with the new version, Apple has decided to not allow you to customize any of the default settings for commonly used adjustments (in my case "Crop") to use my own settings.
Specifically I'd like to add my default crop-values of a ratio of 16x9 (ideally replacing the default 3x2)
Any chance there's n easy hack?

It appears to me after tinkering around that I can set a page like I want it and then save it as a template. I did so to a folder in Finder. Now the only way I can automatically bring up "default" settings on a Pages blank document is to go directly to that file in Finder and open it from there, not from Pages itself. Is there any other way to do this?

How to rollback to default settings in Discoverer Desktop?

Hi all,
I have a small question. I want to get back to default settings (Settings when it first installed on the machine) in Discoverer Desktop. I changed lot of settings some known and some unknown. Can anybody please help me to rollback to my default settings. I will be very thankful to you all.
Thanks.

Hi
There's no easy way to do this. The settings are stored in the system registry, editing of which is fraught with danger if you are inexperienced in working with the registry.
Out of the box, the ones you are most likely to have changed are below and I have included the defaults:
In Application:
CacheFlushPercentage - 25
DocumentOrigin - 2
MaxVirtualDiskMem - 4096000000
MaxVirtualHeapMem - 4096000000
QueryBehavior - 0
ViewType - 1
In Database:
You can safely delete all entries that begin with AEUL, ARESP and UEUL - these will get added again as you begin to work
DisableAutoQuery - 0
DisableFanTrapDetection - 0
DisableMultiJoinDetection - 0
ItemClassDelay - 15
ObjectsAlwaysAccessible - 1
QPPEnabled - 0
RewriteIntegrity - 0
SQLType - 0
UseOptimizerHints - 0
You can generally leave the rest alone.
If you have any other settings that you are concerned about please let me know
Do you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook? If not I would strongly recommend getting it. Pages 786 to 799 discuss all of the preferences, states what the default is and describes what the valid settings are.
Even though I am the author of the book and yes I would get some royalties that is not why I recommend it. I recommend it because it is the official Oracle Press book on Discoverer. There are more than 1000 pages packed full of advice, tips and tricks. My wife and I spent over 9 months putting the book together. We also worked close with Oracle to make sure that the book was accurate.
Best wishes
Michael
