INTRODUCTION

When you assign a slide layout to a slide, the layout includes a default font and size for the various text objects it includes. You can change the font and size of text as needed. For example, you can increase the size of your title text to make it more prominent.

TIP

Using the Font Dialog Box

Another way to change the font is to open the Font dialog box (open the Format menu and choose Font). From the Font dialog box, you can change the font style and size, and set any special effects, such as superscript text or embossing. Click OK to apply any changes.
