Change the default font type and size in visio 2010

In Ms Visio you can change default font type by going to the master shape option. All the default option are defined there, until or unless you don’t change the value there, it will not change.

Thus go to master shape change the value store in their stencils. You need to edit the master shape. When you are able to edit stencil then your problem will be resolved. In order to stop automatic tagging you can go to process engineering within the menu tab and disable the diagram numbering.

Hope this will stop automatic tagging from your drawing and you can tag as you want.
