How can I replace or modify fonts

Step-by-step guide on how to change fonts in a presentation

Let's see what's the fastest way of dealing with font issues.

In case you have a short presentation (2-3 slides) and you want to
replace some of the fonts used, you can just do it manually, by replacing
the fonts slide by slide.

This method doesn't work when you are dealing with a 10 or 20 or even
more-slide presentation.

There has to be a simpler way.

One way is to make use of the Slide Master: whenever you want to modify
a font style used in all the slides of your presentation, replace that
font on the Slide Master.

To do so, go to "View" >> "Master" >>
"Slide Master".

Now that you have displayed the Slide Master, click on the box whose
text style you want to modify (titles? bulleted lists?) and assign a
different font style choosing it from the drop down list.

Doing this, will modify all the slides of the presentation, ensuring
consistency of the overall design and saving you time.

Another way of modifying the font style is by clicking on

"Format" >> "Replace Fonts".

In the first line, "Replace what" you have a dropdown list
with as many entries as the font styles you have been using inside your
presentation. Select here the one you want to modify. Then on the
"Replace with" dropdown list just select the new font that
should replace the old one. As soon as you click "OK", all the
slides in your presentation will reflect these new changes.

In a few clicks you will have changed all the fonts.

This is a good method because it lets you modify the font styles
selectively, and you can modify just one or all the different styles in
use in your presentation.

In case you want to play around with the letter cases, you can use
another option you find under the "Format" menu: "Change
case".

From this dialog box you can change in one shot the case of words, phrases
or entire slides or presentations.

Just select first the text whose case style you want to modify.

Then click on "Format" >> "Change Case" and
select the one that better fits your needs.

This method is not different at all from the same option you have in
Microsoft Word.

You can use this option also if you are formatting the styles from the
"slide master".

And my friend Luigi suggests also that you can use a great keyboard
shortcut for this: Shift+F3.
