769113 2009-04-28 03:38:00 I am using Powerpoint on a fairly regular basis and am becoming
annoyed at what appears to be the default start up of each slide.

When inserting a new slide the programme, by default, puts two text boxes in the slide. The first one says, "Click here to add title" and the second says, "Click to add text." I have no desire to add a title and so have to delete that with every slide opened.

The text box inserts bullets which I have no use for and so I have to delete that as well. Creating presentations would be so much quicker if I did not have to spend time fixing each slide as I went. Annoying.

I would like to know if I can change that default and if so, what do I access to change the default.

Thanks for your help.:thanks

For a new presentation just open the template.

GameJunkie: Thanks for the link. I will make use of it when I update Office.:thanks
