Select Profile dialog
You use the Select Profile dialog to save the attributes of the selected task, bar, link or annotation to a defaults profile. Once you save an object's attributes to a defaults profile, all new objects of the same type are given the same attributes by default when you create them. For example, if you save the attributes of a task to a defaults profile, all tasks that you create subsequently are assigned the same attributes as the selected task. You can save the attributes to an existing defaults profile, or create a new one.
If you create more than one defaults profile, you can switch between them using the Task tab of the Bar Chart Defaults Properties dialog.
If you right-click a blank area of the bar chart and select Copy Properties to Defaults, the properties of the bar under the cursor position become the bar defaults.
How to access the Select Profile dialog
