I know that if I set in a shape the color and line weights as I want them - that I can then right click the shape and Set As Default Shape. &nbsp;But if I then close this slide show and create &nbsp;a new one all the default information about how I want my shapes to appear is lost. &nbsp;I want to save the defaults such then when I click File/New I always get the shapes in the color and etc that I specified. &nbsp;Is there any way to do this? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
On a related note when I do File/New/Blank Presentation/Create - by default it gives me a slide with two sections. &nbsp;I just want a completely blank page to appear with no sections. &nbsp;Is it possible to do this?

Changing shape defaults Power Point

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
