Changing the font on an existing slide show for all slides

Post by vmorrison1 »

I have an existing slide show that I would like to change the font for all slides (all text boxes). Can anyone help?

If you used the same Style for all text boxes, this is easy. First, press F11 to open the Styles and Formatting window. Then go to a slide with a text box and click anywhere within the text. The Style that is used for that text will be highlighted in the Styles and Formatting window. Right click on the Style and pick Modify. You can then change the font for that style on the Font tab. This will change the font of all text that uses that Style. When you go to a new slide, the font may not have updated yet. You can click on the text and it will refresh, or you can save and re-open the document.
