How do I resize text in a text box

Cp26 · #1 02-07-2014, 03:02 PM

Hi everyone,

I have a slide where I have written some things in a text box. The text box fills half of the slide however I would like to expand it so that the text box fills the whole slide, stretching the letters with it as well. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that on powerpoint?

Thanks

Three ways:

1. Cut and paste special as a EMF

Stretching the box will stretch the letters but may distort them.

2. Right click the box and in format shape set TEXTBOX to "Shrink Text on Overflow" Strech the box and then just increase font size by say 100%.

3. Just stretch the box and increase the font size. You should be able to see a preview of the result which will help you get the correct size for your needs.
