How to Change Fonts in SharePoint Classic Pages and Web Parts
Question details
The user wants to know how to change the default fonts across all Text web parts and pages in a SharePoint classic site.
- Product
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Customizing the look and feel of a SharePoint classic site by modifying the fonts in Text web parts and site themes.
- Observed behavior
- The 'Change the Look' settings apply to the site title and navigation bar, but do not globally change the default font for all Text web parts, which require independent formatting.
Ensure you have the necessary site owner or designer permissions to modify the theme and web parts on your SharePoint classic site.
Use 'Change the Look' to Update Site Theme Fonts
Modify the global theme fonts which apply to the site title, navigation bar, and general site layout in the classic experience.
Navigate to your SharePoint classic site and click on the Settings gear icon in the top right corner.
Select 'Change the look' from the dropdown menu to open the theme customization options.
Choose your current theme or a new one, then adjust the Font scheme settings to update the site title and navigation fonts, and click 'Try it out' to apply.
Format Fonts Inside Individual Text Web Parts
Since SharePoint does not offer a global font setting for all Text web parts, you must configure the text formatting within each web part independently.
Looking for a Better Office Experience? Try WPS Office
While SharePoint and Microsoft Office offer enterprise collaboration, managing formatting and settings can sometimes be complex. WPS Office provides a free, lightweight, and highly compatible alternative for creating, editing, and sharing professional documents with ease.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the free installer for your operating system.
- 2. Install the Software: Run the setup file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
- 3. Start Creating: Open WPS Office to easily format, edit, and collaborate on your documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set a default font for all Text web parts in SharePoint?
No, SharePoint currently does not have a built-in feature to apply a single default font globally to all Text web parts. Each web part must be formatted individually using the rich text editor.
Why doesn't the 'Change the Look' theme font apply to my page content?
The theme font selected in the 'Change the Look' settings primarily affects the site title, navigation bar, and structural elements of the classic experience, rather than the content inside individual web parts.
How can I request Microsoft to add a global font setting for web parts?
You can submit a feature request or suggestion through the official Microsoft Feedback community portal, where the product team reviews user suggestions for future SharePoint updates.
