2. Click Layout, Graphics & Text Styles . 
3. Click the desired default object type from the list, e.g., Default Graphic, and right-click. 
4. Click Properties. 
5. From the various tree menus, set the default attributes for the object, text, or bullet.
6. Click on the Document tree menu, ensure that there is a checkmark on the Styles option, and

The new default document uses the following settings from the current document: 

     •    General options 
     •    Page options 
     •    Grid, and Ruler options 
     •    Styles

The changes will be saved as defaults for all future CorelDRAW 8 work sessions.
