Summary:

In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can set defaults for text style, text alignment, draw options, and color options within a presentation.

To View Defaults
Make sure no objects are selected (highlighted) on the slide. Then look at the Style, Text, Draw, and Color menu options. A diamond appears next to each default setting. For example, draw objects are always drawn with the Framed option turned on. This is symbolized by the diamond that appears next to the Framed option on the Draw menu.

To Change Defaults
Make sure no objects are selected (highlighted). Then select the desired defaults. For example, selecting the Filled option on the Draw menu sets Filled as a default format (that is, if a draw object is then created, it will automatically be filled).
