Ah, perhaps I misunderstood, then. Vic is correct in that you can do this on the Blank Presentation.POT (I think it was called Blank.POT in PPT 97) to change the default font for new presentations. For existing ones, this would have to be done on the presentation itself. You can also set this on the templates you use most often, but there's no way to do it globally in one automatic swoop. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Atwood" <natwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 5:51 PM Subject: [mso] Re: PPT 97 change text box size > > =20 > Linda, Roy, > > I just tried doing what Roy suggested - change the font info by right > clicking the text box > font > > I save the presentation, and sure enough, when I load it again, the > changes have stuck! > So it doesn't change the default for a new presentation, but it does > seem to stick with a saved file. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
