Print Layout defaulting to "non-print" medium

I recently made some style changes in the "non-print" medium to have different cross reference formats for online help and print (PDF) outputs. Since then, when I go to a topic in the XML editor, the layout is "Layout (Print)" as usual, but the medium is "Medium (non-print)", which is new. Fomerly, the topics defaulted to the "Print" medium, which I prefer. I can change the print medium each time, but is there a way to set the default to "Print" so that I do not need to change it every time I go into a topic?

the default is whatever you have set in the default/master target. to change the default, change your master topic (right-click on a target name to make it the master)

by the way, welcome to the forums!

I think she meant "... change your master target..."
