There is no way to change the default value. You could write an add-in with
a command to insert a form with code like

Dim UF As Object
With Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject
Set UF = .VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_MSForm)
UF.Properties("ShowModal").Value = False
End With

is there any way to change the default form behavior from modal to
modeless. it's my own fault, but i end up losing more code when i create
a form to perform a printpreview. i always forget to change it.
