How to Set Default Fonts in the Page Master

This article describes how to set the default fonts in the Page Master rather than changing fonts in your report one by one. The Page Master controls the overall appearance of the report.

Method

1. To access the Page Master, click on the Menu button at the top left of the screen as shown below.

2. On the left of the page is the Master tree. This lists all the different types of pages available in the Document. 

3. Go through each Page until you find an Output and select it. An Output is either:

• a Table
• a Chart
• a Callout
• a Textbox

4. To change select the Output object and go to Appearance > APPEARANCE > Font in the object inspector and select the Font name that you want to use from the list of fonts in the drop-down. If you would like to use a custom font, please see How to Use Custom Fonts in Displayr.
5. Next to the drop-down for the Font name is another drop-down for selecting the Font size.

6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each Output object in the Master tree.

7. To return from the Page Master view, click the button at the top right of the screen. This will take you back to the Normal view where you carry on creating your report. This will take you back to the Normal view where you carry on creating your report. 

Technical Information

• Every Page Master (default and custom) in Displayr will be exported to PowerPoint as a slide layout within the Slide Master.
• Objects that can be added to a Page Master (e.g. text items, images, shapes, controls, placeholder textboxes) will appear in PowerPoint on these slide layouts, with the exception of page numbers.
