Master Template / Text box format

[Guest]

Hi - How do I set a format for a text box in a PPT template for my group?
Currently, when you draw a text box, the bullets don't automatically align
etc. I would like people to be able to drop a text box in and have it
automatically set up the way we need it.

Thanks

Ideally, don't drop text boxes in. Use PowerPoint's existing body text
placeholder, for several reasons. One of the best is that you can format it on
the Slide Master; slides based on the slide master will assume the master's
formatting (including your body text).

You can even save the results as a template; others in your group can base
their presentations on the template and inherit your formatting automatically
