I've found a solution that works for me on PowerPoint 2013: • Go to Slide Master View. You should see a master layout and several dependent layouts (indented).

Click a file or folder to select it. From the File menu, select Get Info. One of the windows shown below appears. Click the disclosure triangle next to Sharing & Permissions to display permissions for the selected file or folder. Click the lock and authenticate with an administrator account. Related Posts. PowerPoint Tip: Set Right-Mouse Click To Go Back. If you want to set the right button click of your mouse to go back during a slide show presentation instead of opening the menu.

• Find the slide layout that you want to use as default layout for new slides. • Move it so that it is the third item overall counting the master layout (i.e. The second indented layout underneath the master layout) • Close Slide Master View. • Try to add a new slide. It should be in the layout you need.

Please let me know if this works for you.
