Setting Text Fonts in Powerpoint 2010

PowerPoint offers a wide range of pre-built fonts to choose from. Depending on the purpose of the presentation you may want to choose a more casual font or a formal one. This section will look at the steps to set the text fonts.

Step 1 − The default font in PowerPoint 2010 is Calibri.

Step 2 − To change the text font, select that portion of text the font of which needs to be changed. If you select the entire text box or shape, the changes will apply to all the text in the selection. If you select specific text, the changes will apply to selection only.

Step 3 − In the Font group, under the Home ribbon, click on the font face dropdown.

Step 4 − Scroll through the list of font faces to pick the one that suits your needs. As you move your cursor over the fonts, the selection will change accordingly to give you a preview.
