Fonts and Slide Layout Changes

Font changes to the slide master will affect most text placeholders on your slides. However, due to the variety of layout options available, not all placeholders are affected by changes made to the slide master. Additional changes may need to be made to the different slide layouts -- the smaller thumbnail images located below the slide master image.

In the example shown above, a font color change was necessary for the subtitle placeholder on the Title slide layout, to match the other font changes made on the slide master.

Make Changes to the Different Slide Layouts
  1. Click on the thumbnail image of the slide layout that you wish to make additional font changes to.
  2. Make font changes, such as color and style, to the specific placeholder.
  3. Repeat this process for other slide layouts that were not affected by the changes on the slide master.
