How can I set the default line width

[HighPlanes]

I would like to change the default width of the lines fo shapes and lines.
The program automatically uses 3/4 pt. I would like to change the default to
3 pt instead of having to do it manually for each object,line shape.

You can format one line or shape.
Select it, then on the Drawing menu, choose Draw>Set AutoShape Defaults

Other shapes that you add to that workbook will have the default settings.

For files with existing shapes, you can format one shape
Select it, and double-click the Format Painter button on the Formatting
toolbar
Click on each shape to apply the formatting
Click on the Format Painter button to deselect it (or press the Esc key)

Also, if you make an autoshape with the formatting you like, select it and use the
Set Autoshape Default, on the Draw menu of the Drawing toolbar, to make your
settings the default for subsequent autoshapes you draw.

Doh!

On rereading my post and comparing it to Debra's, I realize that she'd already said
the bit that I added. In my defense I'll say that it's late, and I'm an idiot.

Apologies all around.
