I have inserted a triangle autoshape with text and it looks fine on screen and prints fine but when I save the document and reopen it they have changed to squares! Any suggestions?

1.Format Text Box - "Set AutoShape Default"
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel All, Is this another bug in Word 2008? - Create a text box, with a line border of 0.76. - Right click on the text box, and select "Set AutoShape Defaults" Now, try creating a new text box. Do you get a line border? [I don't] I've tried editing the Normal.dotm file, fiddling with different settings, but I can't seem to figure out any way to set text boxes to have any line border by default. Very frustrating.

2.set AutoShape default does not work
I am trying to resize my default autoshapes in Word so that they are not so large every time I insert one, however when I resize it to the way I want and click on resest autoshap format, it does not I work, the next time I insert a shape, it goes back to the same size. I tried going through theses steps even in the normal.doc template, then saving it and it did not fix the problem. What am I doing wrong? I am using office 2003. thanks in advance for advice...
3.set autoshape defaults for all new documents
Is the option to set autoshape defaults to a drawing element like a line or a text box stored in MS Word 2003 for all new files or does it only apply to the active file? That is, i seem to lose the default confgiuration of my drawing elements. For example: I create a line, the line is invisible because my background is white and the line color is set to "no line". I change that setting to black. then I select the optioin to set autshape defaults. then I create a text box next to the line (which is pointing to something). Again, i have to modif the settings to what I want and set autoshape defaults. So, finally I open or create a new document... I have to repeat all the changes again to the format of the autoshapes. Is this a bug or can I fix my formats so they are the real "defaults"? Besides, why would the default format for a line is "no line" ? Thx
I use text boxes and drawing shapes a lot in my job and up until now, no problem. Now when I try to insert a text box it will go to only one size (about 4" x 6")instead of being able to grab the handles and size to what I want. I have also found (out of curiosity anf frustration) that if I go to a previous document that I have created (before this problem) and it includes a text box or drawing shape and I click on it and try to change it will go to the size that it is going to currently (4" x 6"), am I right in presuming that the default has been changed or reset (presumably by me by accident). How do I get back to me being in charge of sizing to what I want. Please help.
