PPT97: Setting Default Attributes for Slide Objects
ID: Q190346
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows
SUMMARY
You can control the default text characteristics for new objects you
create by using the Text Tool:
- Click the Selection Tool, and then click a blank area of your slide.
This ensures that no objects are selected.
- To change the default alignment, point to Alignment on the Format menu
and then click the appropriate submenu command.
The text, label, or word processor objects you create now follow the
new default you selected.
This does not affect the default alignment for Title and Body objects
because they are controlled by the alignment formatting of the
corresponding objects on the Slide Master and Notes Master.
MORE INFORMATION
You can set up a default presentation, so that the defaults you select
apply to all the new presentations you create. The default presentation
can include all of your custom defaults for slides, notes, and
handouts. If you do not create a default presentation file, PowerPoint
uses its own defaults.
In order for the changes to drawing object attributes and text object
attributes to be saved as the defaults for new presentations, you must
take one more step.
For text objects:
- Select the text with the desired attributes. On the Format
menu, click "Pick Up Text Style," click anywhere in the slide
background, and then click "Apply To Text Defaults."
For drawing objects:
-
Select the object after applying the attributes you want. On the Format
menu, click "Pick Up Object Style," click anywhere in the slide
background, make sure nothing else is selected, and then click
"Apply To Object Defaults" on the Format menu.
