Change Default Home Page

Rather than changing fonts in your slides one by one, you can change the default fonts for your entire presentation. The font pairing (header font, body font) is an important design decision in PowerPoint. Click View Slide Master. To choose a preset for a specific purpose (e.g. On-screen show), click the “Slides sized for” drop-down at the top-left corner of the window, then make your selection. To set the size manually, use the arrows next to the “Width” and “Height” blanks to increase or decrease the size (in inches).

We explored and complained about how PowerPoint 2016 has madewidescreen (16:9) as the default aspect ratio for new presentations.Although you can change all these new presentations fromwidescreen (16:9) to standard (4:3) aspect ratioquite easily, it can be a pain to remember doing so each time you create a new presentation! Of course, if you are happy with 16:9 slides, then youneed not read the rest of this tutorial, for everyone else, we'll show how you can set your default aspect ratio to standard (4:3):

1. Launch PowerPoint 2016, you will see thePresentation Gallery, as shown inFigure 1. Click the Blank Presentation Theme (highlighted in red withinFigure 1).

3. Next, modify the presentation's aspect ratio from Widescreen to Standard, as explained in ourChange Presentation Aspect Ratio from Widescreen toStandard tutorial. You can see the resultant Standard (4:3) aspect ratio slide in Figure 3.

Launch PowerPoint 2016 again, you will see that the Presentation Gallery now includes your new Custom Theme in the topleft position, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 8 (compare with Figure 1).Even though the thumbnail shows a 16:9 slide, don't worry, this is a 4:3 Theme, as you will see in the next step.
