Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 - Globally Change All Fonts in Your Presentation

Have you ever started a new presentation and copied some slides from another presentation into it and then realize that all the fonts are different. Did you know that PowerPoint has a convenient feature that allows you to make a global change to all the fonts in the presentation at one time?

Follow these easy steps to globally change your font in your presentation:

1. In the Editing section on the Home tab of the ribbon, click the Replace > Replace Fonts...

2. In the Replace Font dialog box, under the heading Replace, select the font you wish to change from the drop down list of fonts in this presentation.

3. Under the heading With, select the new font for the presentation.

4. Click the Replace button. All the text in the entire presentation that used the original font is now replaced with your new choice.

5. Repeat the process if your presentation contains a second font that you wish to change.

Note - Just a word of caution, all fonts are not created equal. By that I mean, that a size 24 in Arial font is very different from a size 24 in Barbara Hand font. Make sure that you check the sizing of your new fonts so that they will be easy to read from the back of the room during a presentation.
