MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Is there any way to set my default new slide to a completely blank one?
Hello, when I click the New Slide button ... by default a bulleted slide template appears, and I have to select a different layout from the Task Pane.... Is there any way to set my default new slide to a completely blank one? One way would be to create a "slide master" that is empty with a black "black" background. Then, save the presentation as your "default" template. Meaning that when you save the presentation, you name it "Default" and choose type "Template". PP will automatically choose the folder where to store it. From that point, anytime you open a new presentation, you will be greeted with an empty slide with a black background.

You can still follow the suggestion, only don't set the background black. Rather, take any of the slide designs as your slide-master, Edit -> Select All and "Delete". That will delete all the slide controls leaving you with a "blank" slide you can save as your default template.
