Thank you, Ken. Another excellent suggestion; I never knew templateField existed! This discussion list rocks.

Hello everyone,

I was wonder whether there is a way to set default properties for
object in Revolution.  I notice in Revolution's Preference window
that default object sizes can be set.  It would be nice to be able to
set default field properties such as font and text size.  Would that
somehow be done through custom properties?

In addition to Eric's excellent comments, you can also set "the
templateField" with properties prior to creating fields. All objects have a template, so you can set the template ahead of time and then from that point forward (until you change it or quit Rev) any objects you create will have
those properties.

So you could say:

  set the textFont of the templateField to "Comic Sans"
  set the textSize of the templateField to "14
  create field

Anyway, lookup the template___ entries in the Transcript Dictionary for more
info.
