Yes. Create a textbox that's formatted the way you want it to be.
Then right-click and choose "set autoshapes default."
Also, after you've set your auto textbox, you'll want to draw an actual
autoshape (rectangle, oval, etc.) and reset its autoshape defaults, too.
Do the following in this order:
1. Right-click the textbox and choose "set autoshape default."
2. Right-click one of the autoshapes and choose "set autoshape default."
It's a little bizarre, but just trust me that you want to set the autoshape
default on the textbox first. Then you want to reset the actual autoshape
default.
I believe you may need to remove the "resize to fit" from both the textbox
and the actual autoshape. I think that will take care of your problem.

Every time I create a new text box in PPT it has 'resize to fit autoshape'
on, and I want it turned off. I tried opening the template and turning it
off, then saving as a default , but to no avail. Neither does it help if I
try to right-click on 'Set AutoShape Defaults'. Is there any way to do
this?
