Every time I create a text frame, it automatically sets the text to my "headline" style - which is completely different from my "text" style.
How can I change that? Every time I create a text frame, I would like for the frame to automatically be my "Text" style.
Thank you for any help!
Choose the Text tool and make sure nothing in your document is selected. Then, the rules of InDesign's Default Settings describe what happens: all attributes such as font, color, size, and paragraph and character style as well, that are "selected" at this point, will be used as defaults when you create a new text frame.
So, with nothing selected, just select the paragraph style you want to have for new frames. You will see that when you next draw out a text frame, it will have the correct style.
Be sure to check if you do not accidentally have a specific Object Style selected (both "Basic Text Frame" and "Basic Graphics Frame" ought to be good), as well as a specific Character Style other than "None".
