Applies To: Office 2016 Word 2007 PowerPoint 2007 Office 2007 Office 2010 Office 2013 Most applications (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) include fonts that are automatically installed when you install the software. For example, applications that are created especially for document design projects, such as Microsoft Publisher, often come with quite a few extra fonts that you can use with any other program on your computer. However, sometimes you may want to install custom fonts that you've created, purchased or downloaded from somewhere else. In this article we'll talk about how to install those fonts so you can use them in Microsoft Office. Note: To embed fonts in a Microsoft Office Word document or PowerPoint presentation, see. Locate custom fonts on the Web In addition to acquiring and using fonts installed with other applications, you can download fonts from the Internet. Some fonts on the Internet are sold commercially, some are distributed as shareware, and some are free.
The site provides links to other font foundries (the companies or individuals outside of Microsoft who create and distribute fonts) where you can find additional fonts. After you find a font that you would like to use with an Office application, you can download it and install it through the operating system that you are currently using on your computer. Because fonts work with the operating system, they are not downloaded to Office directly. You should go through the system's Fonts folder in Windows Control Panel and the font will work with Office automatically. On the Mac you use the Font Book to add the font and then copy it to the Windows Office Compatible folder. Many third parties outside of Microsoft package their fonts in.zip files to reduce file size and to make downloading faster.
If you have downloaded a font that is saved in.zip format double-click the zip file to open it. Install a custom font you have downloaded Once you've downloaded the font you want to install you need to install it in the operating system.
Once the font is properly installed in the operating system Microsoft Office will be able to see and use it. For detailed instructions select the operating system you're using from the drop-down box below. Note: If the font file has a.zip extension you need to open that.zip file and open the font file from there. It will open in the font previewer. Click Install Font. It will open in the Font Book. In Font Book, drag and drop the font to Windows Office Compatible to make it available to Microsoft Office.
Sharing files that contain non-standard fonts When you install a custom font, each font will work only with the computer you've installed it on. Custom fonts that you've installed on your computer might not display the same way on a different computer.
Text that is formatted in a font that is not installed on a computer will display in Times New Roman or the default font. Therefore, if you plan to share Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, or Excel files with other people, you'll want to know which fonts are native to the version of Office that the recipient is using. If it isn't native, you may have to embed or distribute the font along with the Word file, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel spreadsheet. Diabetes knowledge and patient activation survey.

You have that mixed up with Word. PowerPoint never had that feature. Word 2003 had a tab in Font (Text Effects) that allowed the user to enable effects such as marching ants, blinking background, Vegas lights, shimmer, irritateme, bustmychops, etc – but never PowerPoint. And why would it?
PowerPoint has animations for such things, right? Having now established the correct program for your question, you're question might be why does Word 2007 no longer have the text effects you speak of? MS did away with it in v2007, so you can stop looking. You can still apply it via VBA code, however. Search Google for Word 2007 marching ants and you'll find some code others made that will apply those effects.
So, wrong program, but the effect was kicked to the curb in Word just to let you know.

How do I set the default line weight and type in PP 2007? Every time I draw a line, it goes back to a thin blue solid line and I want to draw a bunch of thick black dotted lines.
I right click on one of the thick black dotted lines and choose 'Set as Default Shape', but that doesn't seem to do anything (except make the outline of all my shapes thick black dotted lines when I try to insert a new shape (e.g. Square, circle, etc.).
