Reset font changes on a slide layout to the font on the master

Reset font changes on a slide layout to the font on the master

Once you set the font in your master the changes trickle down to your slide layouts. If you change the font of a placeholder(s) in a slide layout afterwards, there is no way back. Changing the font of a placeholder in the Slide master will not alter the font on the slide layout.

What if you want to restore the font of the slide layout to the one used in the slide master?

Select the slide layout and then select the placeholder(s) you want to reset. Go to the Home tab, Font group, click the Remove formatting button. Now the font should be restored to the one of the Slide master.

 
As an alternative you can select and press Ctrl+spacebar which will do the same.
