When you insert a new shape in PowerPoint 2007, you can see a color fill and an outline applied to it by default. This default setting may also depend on the Theme that has been applied to your presentation. In a new blank presentation that I created, the shape is by default filled with a blue solid fill and has a thin dark blue outline. Whenever I insert another new shape on a slide, it will possess these same default shape attributes. These default shape attributes can be changed very easily in PowerPoint 2007.
