In PowerPoint, is there any way I can set a design default for tables? In other words, I want to customize a table and then anytime I choose to make another table, I want the same style.
I haven't found that the paint brush works for this sort of thing.
Basically, the text in the table should pick up its formatting information from the text placeholder on the slide master. It will be the next size down in the font size dropdown, though.
So, for example, if your placeholder on the slide (where it says "click to add text") uses Algerian font face, red color, 24 pt bold font, when you use Insert | New Slide and choose a "title and table" slide layout, the font in the table cells will be Algerian font face, red color, 20 pt bold.
The line color is based on the slide color scheme -- the second swatch (labeled "text and lines"). Make a new slide master and change the color scheme for it so the table lines will be what you want.
I can't find a way to set the default line thickness or fill color, sorry.
Your other option is to create a table the way you want it and then copy/paste and change the data.

You might want to look at the vba samples page here , There's a neat bit of vba that formats tables based on a selected table. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk -- email john AT technologytrish.co.uk
