My next quandary is how to change the default text in Photoshop

My version of Photoshop (CS) just seems to remember the last font settings used...

and InDesign.

Try opening the application and changing the settings to how you want them with _no_ document open. The changes should stick as the defaults next time you open a new document.

When a new text frame is applied the default text is Times size 12. In MS Word, too. Is there a way to change this please?

Easy - Go to the menu item" Format > Font and make the desired changes, then click on the button in the bottom left marked "Default..."

Hope this helps.

Steve.
