Changing the default font in powerpoint

[Sulaiman]

Hi
Can someone tell me how to change the default font in powerpoint ?

Whenever I copy some text and paste it, the text's font changes to
'Chiller', and I have to click "Keep source formatting" in the paste options
to retain the same font I copied the text from.

Is there a way to change the default font (Chiller in my case) to something
else (e.g Tahoma) so that I don't have to keep clicking the "Keep source
formatting" button ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi

Is it text in a placeholder (where it says 'click to add text') or text in
autoshapes/textboxes? For placeholder text, change the font on the master
slide and for autoshapes/textboxes, format a box as you want it and then
right click -> set as default. For more detailed instructions, please let us
know your version.
