I need to change the font of not only the text, but of all
the objects in a large powerpoint presentation that I
have. Is there a way to make the changes to everything at
once? I know I can change all fonts in the Slide master;
however, I do not know how to make th objects inclusive in
that change.

Thanks for the help! Ü

Malea,

On the format menu of powerpoint there is a little known feature called
"replace fonts"

It does just that!

It lists the fonts being used in your presentation
such as Arial

You choose what font you want to use instead
such as TucsonWideBold

Thank you for your reply, Taj...

I tried it and it did not change the font in the objects
(graphs)... Maybe I am not doing it right... I truly
appreciate your help...

Replace fonts doesn't work for embedded objects such as charts. You can
try using the option in Tools/Options for "new charts take on PPT font,"
but I don't know that it will help after the fact.

I suspect you'll have to open the objects and change the fonts
individually. Or ungroup them, after which you can change the fonts
using the Replace Fonts command. However, you will lose your data if you
do that.

To ungroup the charts all at once, you can use the RnR Optimizer -- it
gives you options to ungroup embedded objects, so that would take care
of them in one swell foop. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/FAQ00013.htm
