Setting default fonts for PowerPoint data charts

When you insert a data chart in PowerPoint, chances are that the font in which they pop up is the default Calibri. Why? Because you did not bother to change the fonts in “design” “fonts” “custom fonts”. Set the heading and body fonts to whatever you want it to be, and you save yourself a lot of time re-formating data charts.

That's an interesting idea....I'll try it. Thanks :)

Unfortunately I do not know.

One approach is to create a PowerPoint blank slide with the right fonts baked in, and use that one with "insert from file" to create your charts in Word

Cool. Is there (please let it be yes!) a similar trick in Word to your knowledge? I spend half my life reformatting those Microsoft Graph charts.
