Setting Layer Visability, Base Layer, and Revisit Defaults

Is there a way to customize the Visability, Base Layer, and Revisit default option for layers? You can do this for slides by going to story view, and selecting mulitple slides and changing the settings. But the story view only allows you to do it to the base layer of each slide and does not include all the options as in slide view.

So, if you have a slide with, say 10 layers and you want each layer to resume saved state and allow seeking, you have to click each individual layer settings and change them. I would like to be able to change all 10 layers' settings at once or set a customized master default so they default to what I want.

Is this possible or is there a way to manipulate the program to make it work? Thanks!
