I never used the feature you speak of, but here's some information from
the Help file which *might* answer your question:
To edit the initial style used for text boxes:
1.  Click Graphics > Custom Box > Styles
2.  Select Text Box in the Styles list
3.  Select Default Template from teh Graphic Template Location drop-down
    list
4.  Click Edit > Settings > Change
5.  Select BoxText in the Name list, then click Edit
6.  Select any options in the Style Editor dialog box to change how text
    appears in the box.
7.  Click OK > Close > OK
8.  Use the options in the Edit Style dialog box to change how the
    graphics box looks.
If this doesn't give you what you want, maybe you can "hold my hand"
with the 6.1 method and I'll try to match up the two.
