I am using PP 2007 Home and Student Edition. Is it possible to set the
default text box so it's the same every time I open the program? I have
tried to set it with the Designs>Themes but it always goes back when I start
a new slide. Am I missing something?
 
Format a textbox the way you want it to look, then right-click and select
"set textbox defaults."

You will probably need to do this on the Office.THMX file if you want it to
always do that on your new "blank" presentations (which are based on the
Office.THMX file).

Find the file (in Program Files in Windows), double-click to open. Do the
textbox default, then File | Save As, choose Theme (THMX) from the "save as
type" dropdown list, then save Office.THMX back to the Program Files folder.

You should make a copy of your original Office.THMX file before you do this
just in case it hoses it. :-)
 
Couldn't find the Office.THMX file.
But, I created my own theme and set it as default. Seems to do the job.
Thanks for your advice.
