Defaults for Publisher - bug needs reporting?

[AllAppsUser]

I've been trying to use Edit > Save > Defaults

Sometimes in combination with Edit > Save > Sync From Selection as advised on another thread I posted  (Text style workflow in Publisher  )

It seems to work randomly, if at all.

I thought I had saved the No Style to Helvetica and other settings. It appeared to have done so. Then it reverted and is back to the factory "No Style". All I did in between was save a document as a template.

I've not so far been able to save a default set of styles into the defauls at all though I've spent at least an hour on it.

Is anyone else trying to set up defaults, or do people just not bother?

Is anyone else having problems with it?

Does anyone have a workaround?

Did you do Edit > Defaults > Synch from selection or Edit > Defaults > Save?

That sequence works just fine for me.

I tried both @walt.farrell... confident I've been really methodical about it.

I need to leave it alone tbh, and take a break from it, because it's wound me up a bit.

I will double-check because not being able to set defaults in the app is not good.

Might explore whether I can just boot with the same template straight away, bypassing the new dialogue box which also has an issue. A workaround to remove the headache altogether.

Edit: boot with a pre-prepped doc should be easy enough, I'll just stick a document created from the template in the (Mac) dock - remove the app icon, job done.
