What font size is set in the Notes master?

I tried changing the font size in the notes master: R click text box outline > floating format bar > font size (for the 3 of 12 slides that were unreadable it was set at size 3) changed it to 11 (to match the other slides), but it didn’t make any difference when I print previewed it.


I then tried (in notes master) R clicking the text box > format shape > text box > autofit > (changed to) do not autofit.......... I did this for all notes text boxes & it resolved the problem!

I'm still puzzled as to why the “shrink text on overflow” setting should be active when none of the notes text boxes were anything like full & why in only 3 of 12 of the boxes?


I wondered if maybe I’d accidentally put a load of empty lines after the text so it invoked/called the “shrink text on overflow” function, but I don’t think so. I’d already resolved the problem & closed the ppt before this occurred to me so I reopened it & deliberately inserted a lot of empty lines & made sure it was set to shrink on overflow....................the font size didn’t alter.


So, I've resolved the problem, but don’t really know what caused it in the first place, which is frustrating!

Any ideas on this welcomed
