Text Styles in Formats?

Hi,
We use a few different parameter-driven formats in 2001.
They work great - except for one problem. The text style gallery that is established in each format does not seem to be available when we create a new drawing. When we create a new drawing using our custom format, the text style gallery dialogue box is blank. We use different text sizes and styles in the places that are not parameter driven, i.e. revision blocks. Is there a way to have a new drawing contain a text style gallery? The only option I can think of right now, is to create mapkeys to quickly format text. Any other suggestions?

cheers,

JW

Open your format and change the default text height, width and thickness to match what you would like to see in a table. Create the table. Change the collumn justification in the table as desired. Repeat the process for other tables. When you enter text in these tables on a drawing, the text will default to the height, width and thickness that were in effect at the time each table was originally created.

I hope this helps. Unfortunately, I don't know how to control other text style parameters (font, underline, etc).
