I really like using the Photo Album feature of PowerPoint. I include captions on all my photos but the default is never the font or size that I want. I just started using PP2010 and was hoping that there would be a way to change the font and size in all captions at once but if there is, I can’t find it. I played around with Themes and that didn’t seem to make any difference either. Is there a way to do that? Thx.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 12, 2013 at 12:27 pm #1374446As far as I know you could only do this with code.
Sub fixtext_Album()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
Dim i As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Type = msoGroup Then
For i = 1 To oshp.GroupItems.Count
If oshp.GroupItems(i).HasTextFrame Then
With oshp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font
.Color.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Size = 20
.Bold = True
‘and whatever
End With
End If
Next
End If

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 25, 2013 at 1:32 pm #1376645When PP makes a photo album, what it is actually doing is creating a shape, Rectangle, Oval, etc. and, if captions are included, a text box that is grouped with the shape. John’s code works, however, and I haven’t experimented much with this, PP 2010 doesn’t let you save the presentation with the code. Since it is essentially just a one time thing, to change the fonts, I just deleted the code, (saved it as a Word Doc) from the presentation and saved it.
I was hoping that they might have upgraded the photo album feature but it seems to work pretty much like the one in 2003. Thanks for all the help.
