Learn PowerPoint 2010 for Windows: Format Font Styles

The appearance of text makes a huge difference to any presentation. The font typeface used within your slides is dictated by the active Theme or Theme Fonts set of your presentation — you can certainly override these defaults and choose another font typeface and also change the font size. However, there are times when you need to highlight a word or a phrase contained within your text so that it stands apart and commands attention. To do so, you can apply font styling options that let you make your text bold, italics, underlined, etc.

Insert Characters in PowerPoint using Adobe Presenter

It’s not too easy to find high quality, royalty-free photographs of people that you can use throughout your lessons — and to find pictures of the same person in different poses with the backgrounds within those pictures removed — well, that’s even more difficult. Fortunately, Adobe Presenter’s Character option enables you to add such characters easily into your PowerPoint slides. The Character option provides ready-to-use character images such as business executives and medical practitioners that help you make your presentations engaging with real actors.

Learn PowerPoint for Windows: Font Types and Sizes

When you type text within PowerPoint, the appearance of your text, such as its font type and size is based on the Theme which is applied to your presentation. So if you use PowerPoint’s default Office Theme, then anything you type into a text object may be in the Calibri typeface. You can easily change the Theme Fonts set altogether for your presentation, and all text instances will change to the default typefaces of the new Theme or Theme Fonts set. However, there may be times when you want to override these defaults and choose a typeface that is different — or even a different font size.
