Joanie, In response to your question, you've based it on a false premise. You cannot change the default form and characters per line *for one particular embosser* in Global, Embosser setup. What you can change there is the default form and characters per line *for most new documents*. The settings you get for your new documents aren't for "the last embosser you configured". The settings really are for the dialog as a whole. Joanie, you and others have also been very patient with me. I do understand that this doesn't work the way most people want and expect. So I'll keep tuned in. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joanmarie Diggs Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 4:21 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Embosser setup woes Peter, you are certainly a man of extreme patience, and for that I am grateful. I understand now that: 1. It is intentional, and the rationale for the change 2. The Global Embosser Setup dialog works for the most part the same as the Document Embosser Setup. 3. Just because I use only narrow paper does not mean that I might not use wide later on I have admittedly played with emb.elt in the past, but two machines I am currently using have untouched emb.elt files. You asked: --- I'm not sure what you might be missing. Have you tried switching back from the Index Basic D to the Romeo? In this case, will SP1 switch back to the wide paper? --- I haven't tried that yet. What I just tried in SP2, however, was to start fresh, removing all embossers. I then added the Index and configured it as described in the previous message (narrow width, 32 chars per line). The Index is the default embosser, and any new document I create uses the Index with narrow paper and 32 chars per line. Not surprising. Then, I added the Romeo as described in the previous message (wide width paper, 40 chars per line). I want the Index to be the default so I selected that. ***Now*** Any new document that I create uses the Index, ***but*** with 40 characters per line and the wide width paper. Here is what I think I'm still missing: Why does changing the default form and characters per line of one embosser in the Global Embosser Set Up dialog box change the settings of all of your configured embossers so that any new document you create uses the settings of the last embosser you configured even if that is not the default embosser?
