Change default slide layout in Powerpoint

[Clippy]

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).

- 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.
