Exam 77-422: Microsoft PowerPoint 2013
2.0 Insert and Format Shapes and Slides
2.2 Insert and Format Shapes: Resize Shapes

Resize the Text Box

Say you resized the Text Box and made it smaller. What happens to the text?

 

6. Try it: Resize the Text Box

Select the Text Box on Slide 3. The handles will be available. Use any handle and drag until the Text Box is smaller- less than 4" wide.

 

What Do You See? Microsoft PowerPoint automatically resized the text so that it would fit. The Font size in this example was downsized from 36 pt to 33 pt.

 

What Else Do You See? Look for a little button with two arrows. This is the AutoFit Options. When you click on AutoFit, you should see:
