Hi Dave, I have tried this but cannot figure out how to get the default template I created to open automatically. I create a template, save etc, then when I reopen its the same old default with size 12 font! I would be forced to go through the whole default setting rigmarole each time or search for the one I created, and I dont want to have to take any more time than I already have to, in changing the font size.
