I recently received this email question from a reader regarding editing Powerpoint slides:
Can I change all the font colors, headers, footers, etc in one place or do I need to edit each slide?
The easy answer is YES, you can make these changes in one place!
If your client comes back with changes to their Powerpoint slides after you’ve completed the whole job, it’s very easy to make these changes without going to each and every slide to edit.
Step #1: Open your file and click the VIEW tab.
Select the View Tab
Step #2: Click the “SLIDE MASTER” icon.
Choose Slide Master
This brings up the main design (it won’t have your copy or graphics but that’s OK)
Step #3: Highlight what you want to change on the slide and choose your colors, fonts, or effects from the “EDIT THEME” box.

Step #4: When changes are made, then switch back to “NORMAL” view and you’ll see your text & graphics with the new changes.
Switch Back to Normal View

Thank you .
this was really useful.
good job
All I am trying to do is change the font color on multiple slides and I don’t seem to be able to understand how to make that change based on the instructions you have given. I know it must be very simple, but I follow the steps and seem to get completely lost at step 3. Please help.
Hi Dave. The way I described in the article is really to change all the colors of the theme. If you just want ONE color changed, still go into the MASTER SLIDE view, then click the HOME link. Highlight what you want changed and click the FONT COLOR icon (the capital A with the line of color under it), choose your color, then exit out of the MASTER SLIDE view. Now all your slides will have that color changed. Sorry my directions were confusing! Let me know if you have any other problems.
