how do you change the default font in...

Hi, I have tried closing all indesign docs and then changing the font in the font menu to helvetica (from times), then opening a new document and it still gives me [Times (TT)] when i draw a new text box and write something in it.

I have tried quitting indesign and reopening it and its still the old default font of [Times (TT)] - which is also not an available font on my machine.

I have also changed my basic paragraph style to helvetica from times, and it still doesnt change the default font when i open a new document.

When i open a new document in indesign it comes up with helvetica in the character pallet as the font, its just when i go to draw a text box and write something in it that it writes it in Times.

how do you change the default font in...

Is it possible you have more than one text frame object style, or that you have some default paragraph style set other than [Basic Paragraph]? If you are only editing Basic Paragraph and your default text frame is set to another syle, or you have another paragraph style selected when you begin typing, you might see this behavior.

If not, try resetting your preferences. Replacing InDesign Preferences
