Tips on changing the default font of your Ami Pro files

JAKARTA (JP): For the body of the text of my documents, I
usually use NewCenturySchlbk. When you install word processor
programs such as Ami Pro and Winword, the default font is usually
Times or Times New Roman.

Unfortunately, these two fonts are already so overused that
your documents will look as boring as most of the Dangdut music
today.

Here's how you can change the default font of your new Ami Pro
documents. First, load Ami Pro and a new, blank file will be
automatically opened for you. Click on the right mouse button,
and the Default Style sheet dialog box will emerge.

On top left you'll find a box containing the list of Styles
available in this default sheet. First, make sure that F2 Body
Text appears in the box. Now, change the font and font size to
your preference. In my case, I would change it to
NewCenturySchlbk and 12--provided the font is available on my PC.

You can change all other format settings as well, such as the
alignment and hyphenation. Remember that whatever options you
select now will be the default of your next documents.

Once you've made all the necessary changes, don't forget to
click on Save. Then you can move to the next Style by selecting
from the Style list on top left. Always click on Save before you
move to another Style--Ami Pro will remind you if you forget to
do so anyway.

After you've set all options in each Style to your liking,
click on OK. Here's the final step to make all the changes perma
nent: Click on the Style menu item, and then on Save as a Style
Sheet.

When Ami Pro asks you for the name of the new sheet, type in
DEFAULT.STY. When it asks you whether you wish to replace the
existing sheet file, click on Yes, and you're done.

Create a new document, press the right button and check
whether the default settings are already what you want them to
be. If not all of them are, then you have to do it over.
