How do I change the default text settings for a text box?

[Helpless]

When creating new text boxes I'd like to have the 'wrap text' function turned
on by default. How can I change the default formatting for text boxes? I have
tried the 'Default for new objects' checkbox' but it didn't work for the text
wrapping.

Hm. It does work here.

Oh, wait. Try right-clicking and choosing Set Autoshape Defaults.

Create a textbox that's formatted the way you want it to be.
Then right-click and choose "set autoshapes default."


Also, after you've set your auto textbox, you'll want to draw an actual
autoshape (rectangle, oval, etc.) and reset its autoshape defaults, too.


Do the following in this order:
1. Right-click the textbox and choose "set autoshape default."
2. Right-click one of the autoshapes and choose "set autoshape default."


It's a little bizarre, but just trust me that you want to set the autoshape
default on the textbox first. Then you want to reset the actual autoshape
default.
