Slide text

why for no reason does the size of text sometimes change?

RE: slide text

Hi Joanna

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

The reason that the text sometimes changes size automatically is because of the AutoFit feature in PowerPoint.

Often this will happen when you enter text that takes up more room than what is available within the pre-defined areas (placeholders) in PowerPoint.

You can turn the AutoFit feature off in PowerPoint if you wish to:
Go to Tools - AutoCorrect Options.
On the AutoFormat as you Type tab remove the tick from next to the AutoFit body text to placeholder option.
There is also an option to turn this off for the title placeholder as well.
Then click OK.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

Change the default folder location for opening and saving presentations

If you are always opening presentations from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the Save tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving presentations.
