How to Quickly Replace Fonts

Working on a big PowerPoint presentation often leads to mixed fonts. Instead of changing every text box manually, you can replace all fonts in seconds.


Step 1: Open “Replace Fonts”

Go to the Home tab. On the far right, open the Replace dropdown and choose Replace Fonts…

PowerPoint: Replace Fonts menu (Home → Replace → Replace Fonts…)
Home → Replace → Replace Fonts…


Step 2: Apply the New Font

In the dialog, select the font you want to replace and the new font to use, then confirm.

Replace Fonts dialog in PowerPoint: choose old and new font
Choose the old font and the new font, then apply.


Result: Consistent Slides

Your deck now uses one clean, professional font across all slides.

Slides after replacement: unified font across the presentation
Consistent typography across the entire presentation.


 

💡 Pro Tip: Define your fonts directly in the Slide Master. This way, all slides automatically use the correct typography from the start — no need to replace them later.

 

ℹ️ Additional Info: The “Replace Fonts” feature is only available in the desktop app. In the Office 365 Web App, fonts must be changed manually. On Mac, newer versions don’t offer the Replace Fonts dialog anymore — instead, use Design → Fonts or adjust text styles in the Slide Master.
