How can I change the default paper size for Powerpoint?

[John Whalen]

When I go to Page Setup >> Options, I find that most presentations are
set to a default paper size of 0 x 0 (which results in unprintable and
un PDF-able files).

If this is changed to something sensible (e.g., 8 1/2 x 11) all is
fine.

But how can I make a default paper size stick for each file and be the
default??? In OS 9 I could "option-click" and it would ask if this is
the default printer configuration.

How can I do this in Powerpoint v.X???

Thanks,

John.

John,

What happens when you start a new presentation then check the page size?
Still 0 x 0? If so, a preference-trashing session seems in order.

If the goofball size only appears in existing presentations, you might have
to open and reset each (and I'd work on a copy of the original in case
changing the page size distorts your graphics).
