Working with Fonts

PowerPoint offers an assortment of tools for working with the fonts in your presentation. If you are using nonstandard fonts, you can embed the fonts you use so they "travel" with your presentation. Then, if the computer you use to show your presentation does not have all your fonts installed, the presentation quality will not suffer. Embedding fonts increases the size of your presentation file, however. If you decide to replace one font with another, you can easily do so with a single command.

Embed TrueType Fonts in a Presentation

Click the File menu, and then click Save As.

Click the Tools button, click Save Options, and then select the Embed TrueType Fonts check box. Click the option you want.

• Click Embed Characters In Use Only (best for reducing file size)

• Click Embed All Characters (best for editing by others)

Click OK.

If necessary, enter a file name , select a location for your presentation, and then click Save.

Replace Fonts

Click the Format menu, and then click Replace Fonts.

Click the Replace list arrow, and then click the font you want.

Click the With list arrow, and then click the font you want to substitute.
