Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 - Replace All Uses of a Particular Font

After designing a Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 presentation, have you decided that Arial was not quite right and Verdana would look better, or that you would rather replace a sans-serif font with a serif font to make it easier to read? If so, you can replace all uses of one font in an entire PowerPoint 2003 presentation with another. Note that this only changes text boxes; graphics containing text using a particular font will not be changed.

1. Click "Format" - "Replace Fonts".

2. A "Replace Fonts" dialog box appears.

3. Underneath "Replace", select the font that should be replaced with another.

4. Underneath "With", select the new desired font.

5. Click the "Replace" button.

6. Repeat steps 3-6 as desired if you want to replace multiple fonts.

7. When done, click "Close" to close the dialog box.

You can press CONTROL-Z to undo your changes, if desired. Also note that after changing fonts, you should look over each slide and ensure the different character sizes of the new font do not alter the layouts.
