Set defaults

If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document
is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.

Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects.

1

Close all InDesign documents.

Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.

If you use the same page size and language for most of your documents, you can change these defaults with no
document open. For example, to change the default page size, close all documents, choose File > Document Setup,

and select a desired page size. To set a default dictionary, close all documents, choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary
(Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS), and select an option from the Language menu.

Specify default settings for new objects in a document

With an InDesign document open, choose Edit > Deselect All.
