Is there a way to set the default text format to something other than Tahoma as we prefer using Arial Regular for our text. It gets tedious to change every slide especially when doing cut and paste from other applications.
Setting default text formats
Yes, you can edit the default template to whatever font you would like to use. You can also create a new template.
Please explain how to accomplish that. Many thanks

To create a template for Slides, design a slide how you want the template to look with some placeholder text. When you're done, right-click the thumbnail of that slide from the right slide deck and there will be an option to turn it into a template.

While this works for starting new slides, if you add another text box to the slide, it reverts to the Presenter default of Tahoma. You then have the adjust the font, size and and outline & shadow settings to match what is already there. I find the easiest way is to duplicate one of the existing text boxes and then edit it as required.
It is also not possible to 'retrofit' a template onto a slide, as you can in PowerPoint, or even the Presenter songs.
It would be much better if you had an overall Presenter Option to define the default font and size, rather than having to put up with what has been programmed in.

I agree with Paul! It would be GREAT in future Presenter upgrades to include an option to change AND SAVE
(continued from previous post)...AND SAVE default font options -- including size, color, shadow, outline, etc. That would save a LOT of time and work (unnecessary work, IMHO).
Default fonts are available in 'songs' when creating - can someone please explain why the same feature is not available in 'slides' - it would be a feature that saves many of us so much time
The Slides Editor will see lots of new features and improvements in the new version of Presenter coming out later this year.
There is a way to set a default font for templates in the current Slides Editor -
1. Highlight all the text and apply your preferred font
2. Click out of the text box
3. Reselect the text box - the cursor should automatically be at the end of the text and the font should read as "Tahoma"
4. Change the font again to your preferred font
5. Save the template

Hi,
while this workaround does preserve the default font, it doesn't seem to save the font size or color.
e.g., I set the font to Bahnschrift, black, 60 pt then save as slide template
After I do the workaround and then create new scripture slides from the template, the font is bahnschrift, but 32 pt and white.
Any way to preserve font size and colour?
