Finding and Replacing Text and Fonts.
Sometimes a word you use might be correctly spelled but just not be the correct word.
You can find and change specific text in a presentation by clicking the buttons in the
Editing group on the Home tab to do the following:
● Click the Find button to locate each occurrence of a word, part of a word, or a
phrase. In the Find dialog box, you enter the text, and then click Find Next. You can
specify whether PowerPoint should locate only matches with the exact capitaliza-
tion (also known as the case); in other words, if you specify person, you don’t want
PowerPoint to locate Person. You can also tell PowerPoint whether it should locate
only matches for the entire text; in other words, if you specify person, you don’t
want PowerPoint to locate personal.
● Click the Replace button to locate each occurrence of a word, part of a word, or
a phrase and replace it with something else. In the Replace dialog box, you enter
the text you want to find and what you want to replace it with, click Find Next, and
then click Replace to replace the found occurrence. You can also click Replace All
to replace all occurrences. Again, you can specify whether to match capitalization
and whole words.
You can also click the Replace arrow, and in the Replace list, click Replace Fonts to find
and replace a font throughout a presentation. In the Replace Font dialog box, you can
specify the font you want to change and the font you want PowerPoint to replace it with.
