How to Replace a Font in the Entire PowerPoint on a Mac or PC

July 17, 2014 By Mercedes Hutchens 4 Comments

Day Three of 
I’m still sharing tips from my first session with Deanna Jump and Deedee Wills.
I use a PC at school and get it, but I’m a Mac Girl.
When Deanna and Deedee mentioned that you could replace a font in the ENTIRE PowerPoint you are working on at once, my heart skipped a beat.  When they said ‘on a PC’, I was a bit nervous this fabulous tip wouldn’t apply to a Mac.  Luckily, it does.

Yes, two steps.  That is all.  I will refrain from admitting how much time I’ve spent changing fonts one page at a time.  Let’s just say, this tip was worth the cost of the conference.

The first time I tried it, Arial was there in the default menu but my document was full of Calibri.  I thought it didn’t work.  So, don’t be a duh like me.  Make sure you choose the font you want to replace.

Remember, fonts aren’t all exactly the same size. Go through and make sure the new font fits the way you like.  You may have to make some text box adjustments but that is a lot less time consuming than replacing a font on every page.

I’ve been going back and revising some of my products on TPT, like my Order of Operations PEMDAS packet.  

Next time, this will be so much easier.

How will you use replace fonts?

    OMG! I've been trying to figure out how to do that for years!! Short of creating new "themes" with my favorite fonts, I've been changing fonts one page at a time and it takes FOREVER. THANK YOU!
