If you want to control the default properties of the Text Box Tool, then you can't do that from the Properties Bar per se. You do need to right-click on the tool from the Comment and Markup toolbar, choose Tool Default Properties and set the properties.

If your prefer, you can set the properties with the Properties bar, right click on the Text Box itself, and choose Make Surrent Properties default. I realize that this is what you want to avoid, but it is the best way to do it.

Why did you need to avoid this method?
