Default How to undo "set as default line" - PP 365

I am using PP as part of Office 365.



I have recently set an arrow with a new color and weight as default with "set as default line" command from context menu. But now this is affecting all other line shapes--a straight line, curve, brackets, everything appears with an arrow at the end. Is this an error with the software or have I done something wrong? If the latter, please help me how to undo this default and get my plane lines back.

You could try

Open a new presentation (without the new default line. Insert a line and copy it

Paste into the presentation WITH the new default and set that as default line.

Thank you very much, and it worked!
But this is a work-around. Is there a more official way of undoing the default shapes?

There is no other way I know unless you are prepared to adjust the ObjectDefaults settiong in the underlying XML. If you are using a MSFT template you could try reapplying it.
