Font Size

Hi Fiona, thanks for the query and welcome to the forum. Believe it or not, there are three sides to this:

The first is what we did in class. In the slide master, right click on the placeholder of your body text, choose format shape and then the text box category, remove the shrink text on overflow option as we did in class. This will affect all slides generated from that layout from now on.

However, to switch off Autofit for the entire presentation, click "Options" under the Office Button, then click "Proofing." click the "AutoCorrect Options" button underneath the "AutoCorrect Options" menu. Select the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab and clear the check box next to "AutoFit body text to placeholder." No more pesky Autofit anywhere from now on!

Finally, if you need to fix some or all of the preceding slides select all or the relevant slides in the slide sorter, right click on them and choose Reset Slide. This should cause the Slide Master to reassert itself, causing text to overflow.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
