Did someone use the wrong font throughout your presentation, and now it is your job as the analyst or associate to change the font on all your slides before your big pitch? Before you make the mistake of sweeping through your presentation and changing all the fonts manually (which is a complete waste of your time), read on to see how you can get PowerPoint to automatically do this for you by using the Replace Fonts command.
Just be warned that replacing fonts does NOT guarantee that the wrong fonts will not re-appear within your presentation as other people continue to work on it. On top of that, you will need to double check your charts too. See my replace fonts warnings below.
NOTE: One of the secrets to being wicked fast at PowerPoint, is understanding how to get PowerPoint to do more of the heavy lifting for you.
I worked in consulting and investment banking for over 10 years, and would constantly see my peers and colleagues wasting time in PowerPoint like this. They just didn’t know what they didn’t know.
