Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008appleworks database - set default font how?
Hi, As the Subject indicates, I'm trying to find a way of setting the defaul font for text fields in an appleworks database - I have OS 10.5.2 and I think the latest Appleworks version. There's nothing mentioned that I could see in the Appleworks help. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

It's application wide rather than specific to databases.  SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO!

The General Preferences under the Appleworks menu itself has no option to set a universal default font - it has the option to set the default font for Text - but no, this doesn't mean text anywhere, it just means Text in the word-processing application, since I set it to Arial 12 pt, opened a new record in a database file and lo the text field went back to $#*&(I*Y^@Helvetica 12 pt. Either I'm missing something obvious or this is primo bush-league hack crap. Pardon my language. Great product and all that, but isn't this kind of a simple feature, kind of an obvious should-have-been-done-first-thing kind of feature? There, I'm breathing normally again. :-) On Mar 20, 8:40 pm, "ken.quir...@excite.com" <ken.quir...@excite.com> wrote: > > In article > > <d8b2cb74-5d43-4e42-b753-3b13942f7...@13g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > There, I'm breathing normally again. :-) Actually it seems to be working now. Maybe I just needed to Restart. Thanks. Ken |
