I have a few hundred power point files that were created in standard width. These are lyrics to songs we sing at our church. We recently purchased a new laptop and projector to use for these files, and want to convert them to widescreen format.
After changing the slide width, I haven't figured out a way to make all the other necessary changes without doctoring one slide at a time.
For example, the original format of the standard width slides has the font on each line center justified, and the text box containing that font centered both horizontally and vertically.
- I select all slides, and change the slide size to widescreen
- All text boxes throughout the file are now at the left of each slide, but still centered vertically
- All text within those boxes is now left justified
I also want to change the font color from yellow to white on each slide.
At this point, I'm changing slide size with one click, but am required to go to each slide individually to re-center and re-justify each text box. I then adjust the font alignment and color on the first slide, and use the format painter to have the rest of the slides' fonts match the first slide...one...at...a...time!
Is there a quicker way to perform this conversion?
Thanks!
