How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive? It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system. That was my last computer!!
Thanks,
Sheila

That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

Greetings, David.
alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
Sure.
_Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
_Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
_Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
_Close the window and your done.
Hope that helps.

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.

How do you change the default setting in the motions tab?

Greetings!
We have two macs in our editing suite. Both are running FCP studio 2. One of the macs has a default setting for the drop shadow of 2 in the motion tab. The other mac has the default setting of 10. How can I change the default settings (not as a favorite) so that when I open a clip in the viewer the default setting will always be my preference (1.5) instead of the standard 10. I also want to change the opacity to 90% as the default.
Thanks for your help.

Below is a step-by-step process for changing the default font in CS6, Illustrator, Mac, Mountain Lion, 10.8.2.
There are several additiional steps needed to make this work.
Please feel free to us this for other inquiries.
To Change Default Font in CS6-Ai-Mac-Mountain Lion, 10.8.2
On desktop menu bar, hold down Option key, go to GO, pull down to Library.
Open Application Support, ~ Adobe, ~ Adobe Illustrator CS6, ~ en_us ~ New Document Profiles
Six choices appear (you can change each that you use, one at a time)
Example: Double click Basic RGB.ai
A Basic RGB.ai blank document window opens
In Menu Bar, go to Window ~ Type ~ Character Styles
A sub-window opens with (Normal Character Style) highlighted in Blue
Double click the highlighted name and another sub-window opens
In left of this window, choose Basic Character Formats
Change to desired Font Family, Font Style, Size, etc.
Click OK when finished, widow disappears to reveal Character Styles sub-window
Click anywhere on the blank document in order to get option to Save
Save the document
Close Character Styles sub-window
Quit Illustrator
Re-launch Illustrator CS6 ~ New document … check Font tool to confirm changed default font
Hope this works for other "Lost Adobe Souls" like myself.

How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

How do you change the vibration setting for incoming texts?

I've tried going to settings to change it, even created a new custom one (so it's two taps instead of a very long and battery draining buzz) but the default is still being used. I need the phone to be silent at work, but I'd like a simple "tap" from it when I receive an incoming message. Any suggestions? From other forums I've read, this may be an issue with the Android OS rather than this particular phone.

How do you change the default permissions for files?

I have all my users saving (via AFP) to an Xserve RAID, I am using ACL to control who has access to certain area.
This is fine when moving files in the finder, all ACL are respected, however when saving files from Photoshop it ignores the ACL's.
So if user A saves a file they become the owner- which is fine, but the group and everyone permissions are read only, so when user B ammends the file they get a permission warning when they try to save, the work round I'm using is to trash the file just before you try to save- not ideal cos if the save fails you've lost the work.
What I would like is for the default permission to be group "design" Read and Write and leave everyone as read only
So when any designer goes to oversave a file in photoshop they can do.
I needf to leave ACL's on as they are working well in every other situation, i.e I have certain folders set so once images have been added they cannot be deleted or renamed by certain users.
It only seems to be Photoshop that gives us this problem, Quark files and other docs are able to be saved according to the ACL

Hi
There are some important distinctions and points to be made here.
POSIX Permissions are always set for every file and folder. ACLs are optional for any file, folder or share point and work IN ADDITION to POSIX Permissions. SACLs (Service Access Control Lists) are optional for specific services such as AFP, FTP, SMB, Mail etc and are independent of files and folder as well of standard POSIX Permissions and file system ACLs. Allow access is cumulative and Deny access is first match.
ACLs supersede but don’t necessarily override Standard UNIX permissions.
The best way to use ACLs is to enable Access Control Lists on the desired volume, create the share point folder from within Workgroup Manager, define the Users and Groups and then drop the relevant User and/or Group into the ACL window and define access privileges from there. Don’t be tempted to use the Standard UNIX permissions in addition to ACLs as all sorts of problems can ensue.
Privileges and access can quickly get confused and share points can be broken. Deny settings defined in ACL take precedence over all other privileges settings. Deny settings defined using Standard UNIX as well as ACLs can, in some cases, mean share points becoming inaccessible to all users even those with administrative privileges.
Wherever possible try not to set access privileges using the Finder.

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.

How do you change the default Page Handling/Page Scaling settings?

Hello, I use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard. I work in the construction industry, so it is important drawings are printed to scale. when I go to print an A3 landscape pdf the page handling > page scaling settings automatically default to 'Fit to Printer Margins' - which then throws out the scale of the drawing content. I can manually change this setting to 'None' each time I print, but this is not fool proof as I sometimes forget.
Is there a way to change the default setting for this property? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

How do I change the default properties for Replace(Ins)?

Acrobat Pro X
Comment tools: Annotations
All tool icons EXCEPT Replace(Ins) show "Tool Default Properties" as an option when right-clicked. When I right-click a particular replacement in the document and select "Properties," there is no option to set current as default.
So, how do I change the default properties for this annotation tool? I need to change the Author and the color.
Thanks,
Nancy

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.
