Hi Steve and Rudo,

Steve's right in that you can't do anything about the layouts that are
provided with PowerPoint in terms of what is on the formatting palette
or available in the Format > Slide Layout menu.

But you can copy, paste, duplicate change size, and otherwise fiddle
with the layouts that are default and turn them into whatever you like.

Save your customizations as a presentation. You can copy the customized
slides to any other presentation from slide sorter view.

Thanks to Steve and Jim for the quick reply.

The workaround is ok, however if you changed one of the customised
layout, you need to go through all presentation to update each slide by
hand, rather than simple reassign the new layout.
I had hope to avoid this borring task.
