PowerPoint Font

Question

Hello, MSFT wasn't able to assist so they told me to post here for my PPT question.  I'm trying to create a slide where I can make it my default layout for each time that I add a new slide to the presentation

Also, wanted to know if there's a way to change the font on the templates that appear when you click on the down arrow on the 'insert new slide"

Hi @emlek1216

To create a default layout for new slides, you need to set Slide Master which can control the layout of your presentation.

• Go to the View tab on the Ribbon > click Slide Master.
• You may delete layouts that can be deleted. Then edit the existing one with your preferred font, colors, and other formatting options.
• Click Close Master View button in the Slide Master tab.
• Save the file as a .potx template, which will locate to C:\Users\<user-name>\Documents\Custom Office Templates automatically.

When you need to create a new presentation, please open the PowerPoint first, then click: New > Custom > Custom Office Templates. Find the template that you created. The layout for each time that you add a new slide to the presentation is the one you custom one.
