NEW FEATURE - RELEASED JANUARY 2025

Replace all or selected fonts in PowerPoint Slide Masters in a couple of clicks so the Slide Master matches the presentation!

PPT Productivity's Replace Fonts feature lets you quickly find and fix fonts in your PowerPoint presentation, but it also has the option to update fonts in your Slide Masters. PPT Productivity's Replace Fonts feature displays the list of Slide Masters used in your PowerPoint Presentation, and provides the option to replace fonts in one or all of the Slide Masters in use.

Alternatively, you can nominate to 're-apply' the fonts from your Slide Master(s) to your PowerPoint presentation, to restore the intended formatting.

PowerPoint Slide Masters are complicated. The Slide Master for your PowerPoint presentation leverages the PowerPoint template being used. The PowerPoint template is comprised of a combination of the Slide Master Layouts, the Theme Fonts and the Theme Colors. For more detail about how to create or update PowerPoint templates and themes, we've written this great explanatory blog post.

To update the PowerPoint Font in your Slide Master without this feature, you would need to:

  • Navigate to view Slide Master in PowerPoint
  • Select then Fonts from the Background group on the PowerPoint Slide Master tab
  • From the Fonts dropdown box, select from the preset Font options, or click Custom to set up your own preferred font
  • If you have a PowerPoint presentation with multiple Slide Masters, you will need to repeat these steps for each PowerPoint Slide Master (by clicking on the 'Parent' slide master from each before selecting Font dropdown)
  • Note that if someone has edited a specific Slide Master Layout, any changes made via this method will not automatically override the changes to specific layouts

This is why PPT Productivity introduced the Replace Fonts in Slide Master Option. Using PPT Productivity's Replace Fonts feature (click the Advanced options button on the popup to access the Slide Master features), simply select preferred fonts in PowerPoint for your presentation and nominate to update your Slide Masters, all in a couple of clicks from within the popup.

You can also view and update the fonts specified for Handouts in PowerPoint and Notes in PowerPoint via PPT Productivity's Replace Fonts Window - simply check the checkbox for each to update them.
