Access 2002 Form default font size

[Jim]

Hi,

When I create a new form the default font size for the text boxes and any
other fields I create is 8. To chane this I have to change the properties
value every time.

Is there any way I can change the default value from 8 to save me some time?

Cheers

To set the properties for the default text box for a form:
1. Open the form in design view.
2. Open the Properties box (View menu).
3. Open the Toolbox (View menu).
4. Select the Text Box in the Toolbox.
5. Set the Font Size in the Properties box.

This sets the default font size for the text box on that form. Repeat for
Label, Combo, etc.

You can then save this form (doesn't need a RecordSource or any controls).
Then name this file under:
Tools | Options | Forms/Reports | Form Template
The properties then apply to other forms created in the future.
