Text Box default settings

[quinriva]

How does one change the default settings for a text box in Word 2003. I am aware that you can select set auto-shape defaults but this applies the setting to all autoshapes. For instance I wish to change the font from Times New Roman 12 to Tahoma 10, and remove the outline, margins and fill(so it's just text, nothing else). If I select set autoshape defaults at this point then all my autoshapes have this setting, so if I draw a rectanfle it will have no Line or Fill, just like the text box. Ditto for lines, circles etc.

Is there some way to set the defaults for an individual autoshape (such as the text box) or are all autoshape defaults global paremeters?

Cheers
