Is it possible to change the default font settings in Bb?
Question:
Is it possible to change the default font/size/color in Blackboard so that everything I type shows up in my preferred font settings without having to select those each time? I’ve been searching, but I haven’t found a solution.
Answer:
Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a way to set your default font / size / color in Blackboard to avoid changing the settings for each thing you type.
The best solution I can come up with is to use Word to type up what you want to enter into Blackboard. You can set the default font / size / color in Word and then copy and paste what you have typed into a Blackboard textbox. The formatting info from Word carries over into Blackboard when you paste. If you use the shortcut keys for copying and pasting, this can be done fairly efficiently. CTRL + X is the Keyboard shortcut for CUT, CTRL + C is COPY, and CTRL + V is PASTE. [NOTE: this method only works if you are able to use Blackboard's visual textbox editor, which is not available in all browsers.]
