How to change the defalt color of lines, arrows ect in "Drawing"?

[jessey]

Hello,

I just started using PowerPoint 2007 and can't seem to figure out how change
the default color for drawing. Every time I draw a line or circle, rectangle
etc. in "Drawing" they always come out in Blue which is annoying because I
have to change each line that I draw to black.

In my old version of powerpoint if you changed the line color to black then
every line etc. that you drew always came out as black and if you wanted
another color then you'd have to change it. But this version always reverts
back to blue for both lines and fills.

There must be somewhere in the program where I can change the default from
blue to black? The same thing applies to the fills, they are always blue even
after changing them to no fills or another color?

I would sure appreciate it if someone could suggest a way to over come this
frustrating dilemma.

Thanks
jessey

Create your shape or text or what ever the way you want it with the color
you want then right click and select set as default "this last word changes
acorrding to the item"

Please ignore Pete D as he only has one answer and it is use an
obsolete database.

Jet sucks, even Microosft admits this, they've written that in 1,000
places.
