Positioning text in a text box

I'd like to move the position of text within the text box (not simply centered or aligned left etc) - how do I do this?

RE: Positioning text in a text box

Hi Anna, Thanks for the post, Although Left, Right and Centre are the usual positions for text in a text box, there is one other, that that is to rotate the text through 90 degrees. If you right click on the text box border and choose Format Text Box the dialog box that opens has a tab for "Text Box" in this tab you will see the option "Rotate Text within AutoShape by 90deg".
Alternativly you could use the Tab key, Space bar and Enter keys to manually align the text.

Removing unused toolbar buttons in PowerPoint

Are there buttons on your PowerPoint toolbars that you never use? Remove them from the toolbar by doing the following:

1. Go to Tools - Customise - Commands.
2. Select the toolbar button you wish to remove, then use your mouse to drag and drop the button into the PowerPoint window. When you release your finger from the mouse, the button will disappear.
