How do you change the default font size used in Visio 2010?

Are questions supposed to be in the form of a statement now? Haven't posted to SU in a while. Just wondering based on your edit random. Thanks. – GollyJer Jul 5 '10 at 19:23

The best I've been able to do is edit a master shape.

  1. Right-click the stencil that contains the shape(s) you want to edit, click Save As and give the stencil a useful name.
  2. Now the stencil is editable, woohoo! Right-click the shape whose defaults you want to change, select Edit master → Edit Master Shape and edit away.
  3. When you're done, close the window (not Visio!) and make sure to save the changes.

Yes, this sucks.

You can't really edit the default text size, but if you have shapes under your "favorites" or a custom stencil, you can edit those. Those are the only things you can change.
