I set a default style for 'regular' textboxes. Now, when I add a marker, the default textbox style is applied to the text in the marker. When I tried to 'format the shape', the 'shape' refers to the marker itself, not the text in the marker box. How do you remove a style from the marker textbox? Thanks for your help.
Hi, you can click into the marker text box and select a different font, either by right mouse clicking and selecting 'font', or selecting the font from the main toolbar.
Thanks, Noel. I should have been more specific: I am trying to get rid of the dotted line around, and the background color behind the text. Do you know how to do that?
ok, now I see the problem. I haven't come across this before.
Only thing I can think of is to start again and this time don't set a text box as a default for all text boxes. Format one text box and then use the format painter to paint any new ones. This will prevent the marker from picking up a default style - but I appreciate this would probably be a lot of work.
Hopefully someone else on the forum knows how to separate out the formatting applied to the marker from other text boxes, once you've used the default setting.
You actually gave me an idea and it worked! I created a new text box and set is as the default style. Then added the marker and it used the new default style, while all previous created textboxes kept the 'old' style! Thanks for your input!

here's a quick video of those options

Of course! :-)
