如何让Mac版Office 365 PowerPoint启动默认打开空白布局？

Hey there, I’ve been through this exact frustration too—trying to follow old 2016-era tutorials that just don’t work for Office 365 anymore. Turns out the settings got moved around a bit, but here’s the step-by-step that actually works:

• First, open PowerPoint (even if it loads the template gallery or some other screen—just get it running).
• Click on PowerPoint in the top menu bar, then select Preferences from the dropdown.
• In the Preferences window, click the General tab (it’s usually the first one on the left).
• Look for the section labeled When opening a new presentation—you’ll see a dropdown menu here. By default, it’s probably set to "Show the Presentation Gallery". Change this to Blank Presentation.
• Close the Preferences window, and that’s it! Next time you launch PowerPoint, it’ll jump straight to a blank slide instead of making you hunt for the template file.

Quick note: Those older 2016 tutorials with bold/italic steps often reference outdated menu paths or option names, which is why they weren’t working for you. Office 365 streamlined the settings, so this method aligns perfectly with the current version.
