changing Presenter Notes font size, color, etc

So, I've been puzzled for the longest time how to change the Presenter Notes text / paragraph for all slides at one time.
I often import files from PPT and need to type notes during lectures. However, sometimes, the presenter notes text is white, and then I have to change each slide to black text as I move along the lecture.
Other times, I need to change the font type and line spacing.

Is there a way to change all presenter notes text/paragraph all at once?
If I select all slides, the option to change the Presenter Notes grays out.
And the option is not available if I select the master slides.
And, there is no option to 'make text the default' setting, as often enough this might be an expected menu item but I can't seem to see anything of similar nature.

I welcome all comments.
Regards. Radu

In the latest Keynote, you can click on the presenter notes of any slide, and you should see on the right the "Presenter Notes" style currently applied to the text. If you don't see that, then you should make sure all presenter notes on slides first have the same base style applied.


Now you can change any style settings of the text (font, size, etc.), then apply them on all presenter notes by clicking on the style name, then on the right arrow next to the "Presenter Notes" entry in the dropdown menu, then selecting "Redefine from selection". Now all presenter notes should be the same new style.


Note that this operation will preserve any changes in the text to the base style (e.g., making some parts of the text bold).
