How to change the font in a powerpoint presentation. Installing fonts for Microsoft PowerPoint

Spend a lot of time creating PowerPoint presentations? In this article you will find 10 life hacks that will make your life much easier. I warn you in advance that all this applies to the 2010 version of PowerPoint. IN previous versions it may be called differently and be in other places or not at all.

1. Remove the background from the image

Click on the picture whose background we want to remove. Select from the menu at top panel tools Working with pictures - Remove background.

Select the area you want to delete. We adjust if necessary. Click the checkmark. Ready!

2. Change the main palette

Few people know, but the standard dull colors with which we can paint the text and background on our slides can be changed. It's very easy to do. Go to the Design section and click on the Colors squares.

And you will be surprised what happens next with your presentation. You can change everything back at any time by selecting the Standard theme.

3. Add text to images

Let's say we have 3 photos to which we need to add text. Bringing photos into a single form and placing text can take quite a lot of time. However, we can do one trick:

1. Select all images with the mouse. 2. Click Work with drawing on the panel at the top 3. Select Layout of drawing 4. Specify the scheme we like

4. Crop the image

1. Select the image with the mouse 2. Select the Crop function 3. Indicate by moving the black edges which area we want to leave. 4. Click Crop again. Ready!

5. Make the text easy to read over the photo

Sometimes the text is hard to read in a photograph, because... partially merges with it. Here we will look at 2 ways to avoid this:

1. Paint over the background of the text. To do this: Right-click on the text area Select a fill from the menu that appears

2. Make the photo darker. To do this: Right-click on the photo Select from above Working with drawings Click Correction Select the darkest option

6. Change the font on all slides at once

There is no need to change fonts every time you go into each slide. You can go to the Design section and select a different font theme or create your own. The font will change on all slides. It will remain only in cases where you have previously specified a special font, for example, highlighting a piece of text in this way.

7. Install new fonts

A font is a file that is stored on your Windows in the Fonts folder in the Control Panel. You can download new fonts, for example, from the site http://www.fontov.net/ Unzip them and put them in the Fonts folder.

8. Choose your slide structure in advance

On the main page, click Create slide and select its structure

Sometimes this is necessary. This can be done in a couple of seconds by selecting "Save as JPEG". And all slides in the form of pictures will be saved in a separate folder.

10. Link to Excel table

There is no need to waste your time every month copy-pasting new data from your Excel files. Embed your sign as an object and link it to a file.

When you create a PowerPoint presentation on your computer, you use fonts that are already installed on your system. Accordingly, when preparing a presentation for demonstration on other computers, you need to consider font compatibility.

IN otherwise There may be a situation when your presentation starts to look a little unusual. Namely, the sizes and styles of text blocks do not correspond to those intended. This, of course, worsens the perception of the presentation by participants and creates the impression of sloppiness in the work.

This happens when the demo computer does not have the fonts that were used to create the presentation. In this case, one of the similar available fonts is used. Therefore, the sizes of letters and the distance between letters and lines may vary.

However, there is a way to avoid the font problem. To do this you need to save PowerPoint document(Save As) based on certain requirements.

A familiar window will open for saving a new document with a choice of save location and name. To the left of the “Save” button you can see the inscription “Service” with a triangle. The latter indicates the presence of a drop-down list. You need to select "Save Options" from the list.

PowerPoint Options opens. At the bottom you need to check “Embed fonts into file” and select one of the saving options. Moreover, the second one is more preferable, since all characters from the used sets are implemented. This will allow you to make full changes to the text blocks of the presentation.

It's worth remembering that another computer cannot download fonts from a presentation onto its system for use. But can display them from in your presentation. Including specially processed text, such as .

In a well-known Microsoft program PowerPoint can create various presentations and other similar projects. Such works often use a variety of fonts. The standard package installed by default does not always fit the overall design, so users resort to installing additional fonts. Today we will tell you in detail how to do this and ensure that the installed font is displayed on other computers without problems.

After you have set text styles using one of the methods suggested above, they will be automatically detected in PowerPoint, but if it was open, restart it to update the information.
