On Insert Shape, when I choose the second shape in Lines category (line with
arrow), the default style used for the arrow is Arrow Style 2 (see Shape
Outline Arrows). Rather than having to change the end arrow every time I use
this shape, is there a way to change the default style? I want Arrow Style 5
to be my default whenever I choose the 2nd shape in the Lines category?
Thanks
 
Attendum to Question: I do not want to make the line with end arrow my
Default line shape. I want to keep the line without arrow heads as my
default line shape. Confirm I just want to change the default arrow end on
the arrow shape.
 
I don't think there's any way to do this. You can probably quickly apply
that arrowhead using the Format Painter or the eyedroppers, though. The
eyedroppers (Pick up Style and Apply Style) must be added to the Quick
Access Toolbar, as they are not anywhere on the ribbon.
 
Speedy! Yes, I suspect you are probably right and the Arrow styles are
fixed, out-of-the-box styles that can't be changed.
Thanks for suggestion Echo.
