Changing Defaults on Tools Palette
Hello All, I'm seeing about 20 messages about Changing Defaults on Tools Palette in my e-mail. I had similar problems - moreover I work with unicode languages and those dialog boxes are all Japanese when it comes to Unicode. Can't read them. I found a solution by getting a ResHacker from the net - its a shareware. With it you can open fmdlg.dll file and edit dialog boxes to your taste. Check it out. Don't remember what the site was but I'm sure if you type ResHacker.exe in your Google it will find it.

Changing Defaults on Tools Palette
Dropping in graphic items that have specific characteristics is one of the things I like best about Auto-Text. Just create the item item with the characteristics you want, and copy it to the AutoText.fm document. For speed, assign a shortcut key. Then, every time you want to use the item, just select the graphic frame and type the shortcut key (or use the menu, whichever you prefer). Presto! The item will be dropped in, all formatted and ready for use. It's the only way I would ever do callouts. Since it's shareware, you can try Auto-Text to see how it works for you. There's a callout item included in the example AutoText.fm file. It's $10 for a single-user license. You can download it from: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com Steve

If you have FrameScript, list member Rick Quatro has a script in his Super Web Bundle that should do what you need: DefaultGraphicProps. Sets default properties for imported graphics and the anchored frames that contain them. This is an event script that runs automatically, immediately after a graphic is imported. See http://frameexpert.com/scripts/superwebbundle.htm or contact Rick for more information. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Changing Defaults on Tools Palette
I'd like to know the answer to this too. I've found that the tools palette settings reset to the default if you change the DPI of an image. This would be fine if I could set the default settings. As it stands now, what I do is apply the color and pen width to the graphic inside the anchored frame in addition to applying it to the anchored frame...then I can use the Pick up Object Properties function to restore the color and pen width to the tools palette. --Doug
RE: Changing Defaults on Tools Palette
Hi, Fred- Thanks for the reply. Sadly, we don't have FrameScript here, and actually I want to set the default properties on my TOOLS PALETTE, not on the imported graphic. I don't want to have to click the Fill Pattern to set it to None, and then set the line width, and then select the correct custom color EVERY time I want to add a callout or a circle to highlight something in the screenshot for the user to see.
