MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008text box formatting
When inserting a text box into my ppt template it comes in as Arial black 18pt -which I think is standard/default? How can I specify the text to be a different size (or font) and specific colour? Many thanks Baret Baret, Format the text box the way you want it. Then right-click it and choose Set Autoshapes default.

I don't like font size 18. Just can't change the default. Harry > Thanks Luc - that works great. > Really appreciate it.

One way to make sure you've selected the textbox is to click inside the textbox so your cursor's blinking in the text and then hit the Esc button on your keyboard. Now the textbox is selected, and you should be able to right-click on it more easily.

I am using PP 2007. I got it. Clicking different place and in different way will get different menus. By quick right clicking the edge of the text box, I get a long menu that includes "Set as Default Text Box". This is the option I am looking for. If I click here slowly, I get "Move here, copy here, cancel" commends. Thanks again. > Which version of PowerPoint are you using? > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > >> > > > >> > > Baret Glad to hear you got it worked out.
