That control does not allow your defaults to be used with the setup
wizard.

Martin, assuming you still have you Finale 2003 default file, do the
following:
1. Open your 2003 default file with Finale 2008 and save it as
"my2008DefaultFile" inside the folder "Component Files", which is
inside your Finale 2008 folder.
2. go to menu Finale 2008>>Preferences>>Program Options...
3. Click "New" -- it's the first item in the list at the left
4. Type "my2008DefaultFile" inside field "Default Document"
From now on my2008DefaultFile will be your default file, and you
can edit it as you like, just as you did before, in 2003.

And exactly where in the manual do I find this information to read
up on?
I was hoping to get a simple, clear and specific response from
listers as to
which item in the component files folder (like I did in FinMac2003)
to
define some basic things like fonts and measurement unit for all of
my
future files in Finale 2008. Instead, I seem to be getting all
sorts of
different suggestions on how to do this and how to do that.

Read up on the new feature that allows you to use ANY Finale
document as a
template. It just has to reside in Document Styles folder inside
the FInale
folder to show up in the Setup Wizard. This replaces the old "save
the
libraries" method, which does not incorporate metatools, etc. It's
WAY
better now!
However, I had files get corrupted when I used an old file for this
purpose. It only seemed to affect me (nobody else confirmed having
trouble
with old files as templates) so you might be off scott-free. Try
saving an
old file in 2008 and using it. Maybe that will help avoid problems.

I have just loaded Finale 2008 on my new iMac and wanted to set up
my
previous settings that I used in the past with 2003, including
font sizes
for lyrics, expressions, text blocks, etc...
What is the best way to do this so that whenever I begin a new
document,
all
(or most) of my settings are already in place? Do I open up the
Component
Files folder and use the Maestro Font Default? the Score Default?
Thanks for you help. I hope that those of you in the wake of
Hurricane
Gustav in or near Baton Rouge, as well as those on the East Coast
dealing
with the remnants of tropical storm Hanna are safe and out of
harms way.
