FAQ
What is the difference between Auto Adjust Text and text margins?
- Auto Adjust Text controls the relationship between the text content and the overall text box size.
- Text margins control the distance between the text and the edges of the text box.
- You can use both settings together by choosing an auto-adjust mode first and then refining spacing with margins.
Why does the text become smaller after I choose Shrink text on overflow?
- This mode reduces the font size when the content exceeds the text box area so that more text can stay inside the current box.
- If the smaller text affects readability, switch to Resize shape to fit text instead.
- After adjusting the setting, review readability in your presentation or sharing scenario.
How can I keep text box styles consistent across one presentation?
- Start by choosing a suitable auto-adjust mode for one representative text box.
- Apply the same mode and wrapping choice to text boxes used for similar purposes.
- Review title boxes, description boxes, and callout labels slide by slide after the changes.
