RE: Power Point default on opening the program

Hi Victoria,

Thank you for your question.

Go to the Themes tab, right click over the theme you want to be the default and choose Set as Default Theme.

The next time you open the application the theme will be displayed.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
