Hello, fellow netters! I have a question for those of you who are users of WriteNow 2.2, or for that matter anyone who knows. Is there a way to change the default font (Geneva 12)? If so, how is this done? I have tried looking through the resources with ResEdit 2.1 hoping to find something, but to no avail. I vaguely remember somebody mentioning something about changing default font settings but I think it was not for WriteNow. I even tried the option trick in Font/DA Mover to install fonts into WriteNow but that didn't help either. If you know a way to do this, please let me know. Tony Lagana lagana@sparky.eecs.umich.edu

Open a blank document and change the font to the desired one, then save it as Stationery in the same folder as WriteNow. -- Ian Chai Internet: chai@cs.ukans.edu Bitnet: 2fntnougat@ukanvax

There's no reason to leave the shell or Stationery document in the same folder as WriteNow. Leave it anywhere you intend to use it most. In general, I make shells for a variety of specialized documents: memos, letters, faxes, etc. You can not only set the font but the interline spacing (leading) and leave in constants such as the (updating) date, header/footer, margins, etc. However you do it, you have to remember to do a Save As in order to leave your shell unchanged. Naturally, this technique works for any Mac application. Steve Goldfield

This is called a "Supported template"... 8) -- Ian Chai Internet: chai@cs.ukans.edu Bitnet: 2fntnougat@ukanvax
