Tips & Tricks > To Visually Select a Font in SSB
8/9/2005 9:08:19 AM
There are several ways to visually select a font when creating slides in SSB.
Easiest first:
o On the slide where you want to change the font, select (highlight) the text that you would like to display using a different font.
o Once selected, right click the text,
o Choose the 'font' menu
o Here, the chosen font is visible and you can see what you are changing it to.
Better (because it changes the for the entire SS; if it has not been overridden in an individual slide):
o Choose the ‘File -> Display Properties’ menu item
o While ‘Slide Show’ remains selected, choose the ‘Slide’ checkbox
o Now choose the ‘Text Frame’ that you want to affect with a new font (e.g., ‘Main Text’, ‘Title’ or ‘Footer’)
o Choose the font name that you think you want to use,
o Select the ellipsis next to the name of the chosen font to see it.
o The popup that you see allows you to change the font visually.
