Default text in PowerPoint always takes the Font type and size from the Theme of the presentation. However, you can override these defaults and choose a typeface (font type) that is different — or even a different font size. Explore in the following tutorials how you can choose different font types and change the font size of the selected text on the slide. Select a link based upon your PowerPoint version.

To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.
