TextEdit zoom default-- how to change?

Is there a direct way of having TextEdit automatically come up documents set to, say, 150% zoom?
I know the trick about saving a "template" document and opening it each time... but then one must remember to change the name!
I'd much rather tweak some setting and so whenever I hit command-N up comes a blank doc expanded with the zoom at 150%.
I have been using a default font size of 17 or so, so the text would legible on a high-res laptop... but then when one prints that or copies and pastes it elsewhere, the font is gigantic!

Well, thus far, I'm simply getting into the multiple steps of opening a new document, selecting zoom and going to 150%, and then having to resize the window... it's a nuisance and involves many steps, but at least the text is now at normal font size for printing and transfering to other documents.
And, so far, that's a better solution than my original one of setting the default font size at 17 so that it would display at a decent size automatically.
I've been unable to figure out an automator macro to do this. But it should be possible (perhaps with Apple Script) to do this so that one click on the TextEdit icon would invoke a script that zooms the new document window to 150%.

  • Photoshop CS4  "Save" default, how to change?

    I have been unable to find out how to change the "save" default in PS cs4.  If I open a photo, do adjustments using various layers then execute  "save" it saves it as a Tiff file.  I can choose "save as" and make a selection to what ever format, but the "save" defaults to a Tiff format on the initial"save".  At one point I was saving by default to a psd file and one day it changed on me...I don't know if I inadvertently did something or not but I would sure like to change it back.  If it makes any difference, I open most of my photos from LR2.  I've looked through the help section and threads here but can't find an answer.  Note: If I do a "save as" first, do more work on the photo then execute the "save" command it will then save it to whatever format that was chosen in the initial "save as" action.  Thanks.

    That setting should be sticky, meaning it will be set to whatever you used the last time.  If you change file format, it will be set to the newer file format next time you use it.  That's how it works on my setup*.
    * Re my setup:  Please note that I am not a Lightroom user.  I have no idea whether it interferes or not.

  • How to change  PDF comments time in utc time zone*

    Currently the eReview PDF time stamp uses the system time for its timestamp.
    If there are two reviewers for a eReview packet, one in some X location and other in Phoenix and the reviewer in "X" reviews the packet first on a particular day evening and reviewer in Phoenix reviews the packet in their same day morning then the timestamp shows that Review in Phoenix is done first and "X" is done later.
    The same is the case for comments from authors and the reviewers if both are different location.
    So I think this time stamp looks inconsistent and does not give the desired information.
    so its taking system by default,how to change it from system time to UTC time zone
    Thanks&Regards
    Sam rome

    you could use the elapsed time function and hook it up to a case structure so that every .1 seconds you write your data to a file.
    hope this helps:

  • How to change default zoom in outlook 365 permenently

    I use the preview/reading pane in outlook 365 and I can see the slider bar at the bottom where I can adjust the zoom. Problem is I have to enlarge it each time for every email I want to read. How can set this to something other than 100% and make it stick?
    Also, sometimes I need to fully open an email an I have the same problem - text is too small. And this time no slider bar at the bottom. SoO I have to go up to and manually adjust the zoom that way. This is so frustrating and a big problem for me as I have
    bad eyes. Can someone please tell me how to change the zoom permanently?

    Hi,
    Changing the zoom setting is not persistent for reading messages. To make the zoom level persistent, you need to use an add-in or a macro. See:

  • 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.

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

  • How to change default alerts in iCal?

    Hello.
    Every time you add a new event in iCal, the Info panel of the event contains a series of default alerts that you may want to add to it. However, all of them are useless to me (e.g.: "Send email to <my address> 4 days after), so I need to manually edit them event by event. Anybody knows how to change them? I have already inspected all the plist files related to ical, and looked inside the ical package content, but I found no indication of where to change these values. Using iCal version 5.0.2
    Thanks,
    l

    John: Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was indeed inspecting the plist with bbedit, but what I did not realize is that the file has some parts which are binary, so I could not see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms part by using a text editor. I opened it with Xcode and I did find what you were saying, and erased all the junk that was in there. In fact, the issue I had was also described here:
    http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Uk/uk.comp.sys.mac/2010-06/msg02349.html
    For some reason, it looks like after some upgrade the program adds were some positive values in the plist and I was stuck with default alarms that were set *after* the events I wanted to set an alarm for.
    I did what you suggested, then added by hand new values to the PersistentMenu part of the plist, and I am now happy.
    For everybody's information, to know what I did, it is enough to know to add Dictionary items to the  PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms, with 3 fields:
    -- AlarmTypeKey (this determines if you want a sound, or else an email, or else the other default alarm type keys. For example, sending an email is a Number, value 4; having a message with sound is a Number, value 3)
    -- AlarmDurationKey: This is a Number, in seconds, that determines when you want your alarm to trigger. E.g: -172800 will be two days before. Must be negative for "before", of course)
    -- AlarmParameterKey: This is a String, where you store the value that you want the alarm to have. For example, if you want an email to be sent, the AlarmTypeKey will be 4, as explained above, and this field will contain your email address. Instead, if you want the alarm to be a sound, the AlarmTypeKey will be 3 and this field will have the name of the sound you want (e.g., Basso).
    That's it. Thanks a lot for the solution!

  • 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.
