Set as Default in PPT 2007

Is there any way to PERMANENTLY set the default line, shape fill, etc. in PPT
2007? The right-click Set As Default option seems to only set the default for
the current presentation...

Also, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a simple 1 pt black
border around a graphic. Even though I've set the line color and style,
PowerPoint seems to want to do a 3D-effect gray border.

Thanks!

That's correct. You can't set an overall "application-level" default.

Thanks for the help. It's good to know I'm not crazy! Yet another example of
the seemingly impossibly poor usability of the new Office. Unbelievable.
Also depending on the object you're working with, PPT may put an odd
blue-gray 3d looking border around it while it's selected.

Ah...yes, I'm discovering that Microsoft has decided it's no longer
important to see the edges of what you've selected. It's more fun that way,
because you can guess where you've placed the object and then be surprised
when it's not where you thought!
