How do I stop text resizing by itself?

RE: Text size

Hi Emma

Thank you for your question.

The resizing of font to fit a placeholder is controlled by the AutoCorrect settings in PowerPoint.

If you go to Tools/Autocorrect options/Autoformat as you type, you can remove the tick from next to Autofit body text to placeholder (and remove the tick for Autofit title text to placeholder as well if you want) then click OK.

This stops the text from changing to a different font size once a placeholder starts filling up with text.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

 

Powerpoint tip:

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
