Instead, you highlight the text by adding a glow color. Heres the text we want to highlight. To add the glow color, first Ill select the text by dragging with the mouse. When I select the text, the Drawing Tools Format tab appears. Ill click it.The Format tab has a group called WordArt Styles for formatting text with colors, glows, and other effects. Look for Text Effects, here, and click it.The effect we want is Glow. When I point to it, a gallery of glow effects appears.And when I point to an effect, it previews on the text.For the strongest yellow glow, Ill choose this one, called Gold, 18 pt. glow.The text now has a yellow glow as a highlight.I can increase the glow, if I want. Ill select the text again, click Text Effects, point to Glow, and click Glow Options. Next to Size, Ill click the Up arrow and increase the glow to 50 points.The increased glow creates a more blended highlight, and the glow is easier to see.Were finished with the Format Shape pane, so Ill click the X to close it.And now lets click Slide Show, to see the glow highlight in that view.Now, to use the laser pointer to call out text while you present, heres what you do.Press and hold Ctrl and also press and hold the left mouse button. That activates the laser pointer.As I mention each company value, such as Medicine for all, I can emphasize it with the pointer.When I let up the mouse button, the mouse pointer returns.But the laser pointer reappears when I press and hold the mouse button, as long as Im still pressing Ctrl. Up next: Change the font style for a presentation.

Click More, and point to Fonts.In the Fonts gallery, you can select a new font style, and it will apply to the whole presentation.Well step through this process, but first,lets look at the fonts that are currently applied and see how theyre used on the slides.For this slide show, we chose a Blank Presentation, on the New screen, and that came with a certain font style. To see what fonts have been applied, click the text, such as this slide title.Then click the Home tab, and look at the Font box.The Font box shows that this title has the font Calibri Light.To see more about the font, click the arrow in the Font box.Calibri Light is selected and we see that its applied to headingsmeaning the presentation title,section titles, and all slide titles.Now, Ill click the subtitle text on the slide and look in the Font box. I see that the Calibri font is applied.In the Font list, Calibri is selected,and we see that its applied to body textwhich means the subtitles as well as body text on the slides.If we click slide 2 and click its title, we see the title text is Calibri Light,and when we click the body text, we see its Calibri.So, the same fonts are applied throughout.Now, to apply different fonts to the presentation, we click Design,and in the Variants group, click the More arrow. Then, we point to Fonts.The Fonts gallery includes other font stylescombinations of fonts for headings and body text.The current styleCalibri Light and Calibriis selected.Now, lets preview some of the others.When I point to the style, I see the preview.This one uses Arial for both headings and body text; this one applies Candara; and this one applies Century Gothic. Scroll down for more choices. Heres Cambria and Garamond.Lets apply Candara.Now Ill click the Home tab, click the title text, and look in the Font box.Candara is applied. When I click the subtitle, Candara is also applied there.The Candara font is applied to the other slides, also, for the title text and body text.Theres nothing more we need to do.So, weve changed the font style everywhere, just as we wanted.For more information, see the course summary, and experiment some more with PowerPoint.
