Controlling the Font in Text Boxes

PowerPoint, when we think of this software, we think of onscreen presentations that we see at conferences or meetings. You can use PowerPoint for more than just onscreen slide shows.

Last week one of our readers asked a great question about formatting the fonts in PowerPoint text boxes.

If you use the master slide to control the overall look and feel of the design of your PowerPoint, you can easily apply a consistent look to all your slides. However, many users add additional text boxes that revert back to a default font, like Arial, and then we spend time trying to fix each text box. No More!!

To set a default font for your presentation, just open the presentation and from the formatting toolbar choose the font style and size you want. Now when ever you make a new text box it will use the option you just set. Don't forget to save your changes!
