default text attributes

I want to change the default text attributes so each time I use either
paragraph or artistic text, it defaults to my chosen font and point size.
The way to do this is to change these parameters when there is no text
selected. A dialogue box will appear and advise the new defaults will take
place - which they do, that is until I close the program and start it again,
when they return to Corel's standard defaults. How can I carry my chosen
defaults through to being available every time I start the program. FYI I am
using CorelDraw V10.

Hi Steve
In Corel 11 it is Tools/Option/Document and place a checkmark in the box
'Save options as default for new documents'.
Should be the same in Version 10

That worked! I knew about that 'save options' but didn't know it had any
bearing on the default text. Thanks
