I'm making a template and need to change default text i placeholder from
'Click to add title' to my own text.
Is this possible?

It's Office 2002 sp 3 i'm working on.

Thanks!

But you can do this in PowerPoint 2007.

Good. since you're using 2002, try out this method:
select: view>master>slide master

then, click on the placeholder (just click at the borders of the
placeholder, not inside the placeholder)
you've already selected a placeholder. press ctrl-a if you want to
select all the placeholders including footer note, page no...etc.

then, choose your desirable font.

lastly, from the slide master box menu, click close master view
button. voila!
