Hello,

Is it possible to define the default shape styles in powerpoint:



1) Set default outlines (different weights, different dashes)

2) Set different default fonts, bold, not bold, different font colors

3) Set different combinations of fill and outline as I desire

4) Set different shape effects

5) In the screen below, I use 3 or 4 of the shapes, while I use of 10 to 15 different style formatting in my presentations

There's no inbuilt way to do this. You would need to code or get a coder to provide you with either a library of shapes / styles OR a method of applying your chosen style to default shapes. The latter is fairly easy and the former fairly difficult!

Hello,

Thank you for your answer, I didn't understand the "latter proposal".

I shall get a coder to provide me with a method of applying my chosen style to default shapes?

I was saying it is fairly easy for a good coder to set up "apply my chosen style"

It's a lot more difficult (but possible) to create a new gallery of customized shapes on the ribbon
