Adjusting Design Spacing and Font
When some PowerPoint templates are downloaded from the web, the spacing and
font size need to be adjusted. However, the customizing features are easy to
use.
Here is a downloaded PPT template that needs to be customized. The bullets
are way over to the left and the font size could be larger:
Click in the bulleted space and make sure the handles are displaying.
The small white circles are used to drag and make the template larger or smaller
(diagonally)
The small white squares and used to drag and make the space larger or smaller
(horizontally)
In this case, you want to move the bulleted text to the right.
Click the small white square and you will see <-> a double sided arrow that
allows you to drag to the right or left. In this case drag the square handle to
the right until the text is where you want it.
Keep the bulleted text as is. Or, the size of the text could be larger to fit
into the area.
Highlight all the bulleted text
Go to Home tab / Font group
Select a different font and/or font size
The spacing and the print size has been customized to fit this particular
design.
Adjust as needed.
