How to restore guidelines to default settings

I created several custom guidelines for a slide as well as moved the default guidelines on this slide. 
I want to reset the guidelines to default, but I cannot find a way to do so. 

Is there a way to reset or restore the default settings for guidelines?

    Hello Carl, I guess there's isn't a way to reset/restore the guidelines to its initial positions. But here is quick process to create new guidelines:

    Click on the View tab and make sure ruler and guides checkboxes are selected. Then click on the rules and drag onto the slide to create a new guideline (both horizontal/vertical).

    The default guideline positions when the slide size is (720x540) 4:3:
    x-axis: 144 576
    y-axis: 108 432.
    and 
    when the slide size is (960x540) 16:9 
    x-axis: 264 696
    y-axis: 108 432.

    Hope this helps!!

  • Thank you very much Sandeep. 
    This does help. 

    I suppose I took it for granted that there would be a "Restore to Default" option somewhere that I was missing somehow.
