I'm trying to set the default background color for
textboxes to yellow. Even though I set the color and click
Set As Default, when I draw a new textbox the background
is still white.

Please help.
Boss boss is getting mad because this is taking me so long!

Unfortunately, the background fill default settings apply only to
autoshapes, not to textboxes. You can use the format painter to format
all the textboxes pretty quickly, though. Just format one, select it,
then double-click the paintbrush. Click on textboxes you want to "paint"
with that format. Click the paintbrush again to deactivate the tool.
