The major exception to this rule is the very first slide, which is the called the Title Slide.

The reason for this is that the default for most people most of the time is to use bullet points and sub-points, and these are best controlled through a hierarchical Outline style. The Title of the slide is governed by the Title style, which is pretty clear, but the body is governed by the Outline style. Open the Styles and Formatting window on the right, and Presentation Styles will be the second icon. So if you want to change the appearance for all of the slides in your presentation, you would do it by modifying the Presentation Styles. These boxes, like all of the AutoLayout Text Boxes, are controlled by the Presentation Styles. This is the most common type of slide, and it has one AutoLayout Text box for the Slide title, and one for the Slide Body.
