I have a client who has a template with Arial 20 pt regular as the default
font, with all the master text in Arial. When she clicks the clear formatting
icon, the text changes to Helvetica, Grey, 36pt, bold. She checked the
master slides to see if it was picking up Helvetica from any of the place
holders there, but that's not the casse. Does anyone know where the Helvetica
might be coming from?

She's using PowerPoint 2007. Thanks!

Might be coming from the default shape or textbox. If you create a new
manual textbox, what font is used?

Hi Echo,
I created a new manual textbox with Arial 20 pt. regular, saved it as the
default text, but when she opens the prezo on her computer she gets the
Helvetica issue.

It doesn't happen on my computer though, so I'm pretty sure it's something
on her computer.
Thanks
Jeri

Ugh, weird!

What font set does the theme use? They'll say FontName (Headings) and
FontName (Body) in the font dropdown list. When I use the clear formatting
icon here, it reverts to the Body font.

The 36 point is odd, though. It reverts to 18 pt regardless. Hm.
