How do I set the default line weight and type in PP 2007? Every time I draw a line, it goes back to a thin blue solid line and I want to draw a bunch of thick black dotted lines. I right click on one of the thick black dotted lines and choose 'Set as Default Shape', but that doesn't seem to do anything (except make the outline of all my shapes thick black dotted lines when I try to insert a new shape (e.g. Square, circle, etc.).

However, when I draw a new line, it is thin blue and solid. On the same topic, how do I set a default text font for text boxes.

Most applications (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) include fonts that are automatically installed when you install the software.

Every time I add a text box, it starts at 18pt Calibri font and it is regular. I want it to Georgia font, bold, and 14pt. I realize there are themes. If I have to edit the theme to make these changes, how do I do that? Please give step by step instructions as the ribbon is driving me nuts. Thanks, but that doesn't work. To reproduce the problem: 1.

Open a new PowerPoint 2007 2. Click 'Insert', 'Shape', 'Curve' 3. Draw a curve 4.

Right-click on the curve and choose 'Format Shape' 5. Change the 'Line Color' and 'Line Style/Width'. Click 'Close' 7. Right Click on the curve and choose 'Set as Default Shape' 8. Click 'Insert', 'Shape', 'Curve' 9.

Draw a curve The new curve doesn't have the new attributes. However, if you 'Insert', 'Shape' 'Rectangle (or circle, or triangle, etc.), they WILL be drawn with the new attributes. It seems to work correctly for any 'closed' shapes, but not for 'open shapes' like lines, brackets, curves, arcs, etc. Or is this yet another bug in the 2007 suite?
