Format Text for all new visio diagrams

[William Taylor]

Could someone please explain how to change the basic font from aria to some
other font for all text in new visio diagrams? I am sure this must seem
simple, but I just have not ever been able to do this.

You can edit the Normal style under Format > Define Styles and change the
font for a drawing there. Many styles are based on Normal. Normal is the
default style for blank drawings.

You might also try and find BLNKDG_U.VSD or BLNKDG_M.VSD in the Visio
install directories. Perhaps you can change that file (in Visio 2003). It's
an idea I haven't tried yet.

Save a backup of these files in case you mess them up!

As one might have expected, others had similar but less detailed responses in
earlier posts. I appreciate your assistance. I tried this and it worked.
