I have just posted the long awaited Default Text Box Add-In for Microsoft Publisher 2002/2003. This Add-In was a year in the making (red tape). Microsoft Publisher 97 (released in August of '96) was the last version of Publisher to offer the ability to set your preferred font/text box defaults for all new publications (Publisher offered normal.pub, similar to normal.dot). That was 7 years ago! After years of wishes and complaints, Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 STILL has not returned this high demand feature. Hence the reason for the development of this Add-In. A special thanks goes out to Cory and Rich (Microsoft Publisher Division) as well as Ed (Microsoft MVP) to help get this coded and to keep it free for all. If you have any problems, questions or issues, please let me know. Email me at publisher@mvps.org.

Click on the article link to take you to the Add-In page of my site, where you will find the new Add-In as well as a link to the tutorial. If you like it or use it, please let me know as I would like your feedback!
