Default bullet size for normal text boxes

[Hank]

Hi!

I have a presentation template which is driving me crazy (but was a lot
of effort to set up): whenever I create a normal text box (i.e. NOT the
standard placeholders, but a normal box or text in a normal autoform),
any bullets I switch on come at 45% size instead of 100%. There seems
to be some kind of a default somewhere, but I cannot find a setting for
default bullet size in text boxes.

Other templates have 100% as usual, but as soon as I apply a master
from this specific template, new text boxes go back to 45%. Same goes
for numbering, btw, so any numbers appear in 45% and are almost
illegible.

Does anyone have an idea where I can change this, or better even, how I
can change all default bullets to some I define, in character, color,
size? OpenOffice seems to allow this, but it mangles these master so I
cannot use it to fix my template.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Hank

Hank,
Have you tried this: in your template, draw a textbox, leave the selection
on, go to Format bullets and numbering, set the size to 100%. Ok out. Right
click the text box, choose Set AutoShape default. Now remove the textbox.
Save your template again.

Does this help, or have I completely misjudged your question?
