Especially in Layouts, I have two basic text symbols I use for labels (both Labels drawn from a layer, Annotations and simply added Text) - they are Size 10 Bold and either black text with white halo or white text with black halo. In ArcMap I have saved these styles so they are the first things I have to choose from whenever I get a 'Symbol Selector' box.
How do I get something similar. I cant find a "save As..." anywhere when editing text symbology.
