This article was previously published under Q58323 SUMMARY
You can control the default text characteristics for new objects you
create by using the Text Tool:
- Click the Selection Tool, and then click a blank area of your slide.
This ensures that no objects are selected.
- To change the default alignment, use the procedure appropriate for
your version of PowerPoint.
PowerPoint 4.0, 7.0
-------------------
On the Format menu, point to Alignment, and then click the appropriate submenu command.
PowerPoint 3.x
--------------
On the Text menu, click Alignment and select from among the submenu
alignment options.
PowerPoint 2.x
--------------
On the Text menu, click Left, Center, Right, or Justify.
The text, label, or word processor objects you create now follow the
new default you selected.
This does not affect the default alignment for Title and Body objects
because that is controlled by the alignment formatting of the
corresponding objects on the Slide Master and Notes Master.
