Default Altering Slide Layouts

Hi All:

Is there a way to alter an existing slide layout (i.e. Title,Text, Content)
so that if text has to wrap within the bullet, it wraps under the text above
instead of the bullet. I am aware of how to alter the Slide Master and such,
but was unsure of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

View ruler (if its not there)
On the ruler adjust the lower grey arrow tab to line up with your first line
text

This should be the default BTW

Did that solve your problem?

Default Altering Slide Layouts

John,

Thanks for the idea.. I had tried that and it works with the individual
slides, however I was looking for a more universal change so that when my
users needed that layout, it could already be setup for them. I went back
through some of the other Slide Layout questions and it seems that you cannot
alter an existing layout, only the Masters. Please let me know if there is
something I am missing.. Thanks again!

If you set up the ruler as you want it and save as a template - called blank
it will remember the settings

John's suggestion should solve that problem too, if you apply the change to the body
text placeholder on the slide master.
