# Entry Templates

Each journal can have an entry template that defines the default topic and/or text of new entries. If you don't want text in each new entry, you can also set up a default font and style to use. To set a default font or style for all journals, select some text with the style that you want and then use the "Save Current Style as Default" menu item in the Format menu. You can also select some text and apply this default style using the "Apply Default Style".

To set a template for a journal, open the Inspector and look in the Journal section using the tab on top. Look for the "Template" row and change from "Inherit" to "Custom". This will open up a window that will let you edit any part of the template that you want. After that, any new entry in that journal will look like that template. You can edit the template at any time to affect new entries but previously-created entries will stay the same.
