The default font is not changed when you apply a template to the selected slides in PowerPoint

This article was previously published under Q285518

SYMPTOMS

When you apply a new slide design template to a slide in Microsoft PowerPoint, the default font of that slide is not changed to the default font of the newly-selected template as expected.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you apply a design template to selected slides in the presentation.

The default font of the new template is not used because the default font is based on the default font of the first slide master in the presentation.

MORE INFORMATION

The Default Font is a per-document setting and is not controlled by the formatting of the applied design. This default font affects text that is placed into any text boxes. To change the default font for text boxes, follow these steps depending on your version of PowerPoint:

PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003

  1. On the View menu, click Normal.
  2. After ensuring that no objects or text in the presentation are selected, change the font attributes that you want on the Formatting toolbar.

    Note If the Formatting toolbar does not appear, click View, point to Toolbars, and then click Formatting.

PowerPoint 2007

  1. On the Design tab, click Fonts in the Themes group.
  2. After ensuring that no objects or text in the presentation are selected, change the font attributes that you want in the Fonts list.
These changes are now part of the default formatting that is used in any new text boxes that are created throughout the presentation. Text boxes that were created before you changed the default font are not affected.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
  • Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Standard Edition
