Objects And Animations Text Question

[casman]

Hello forum,

When adding some text in Objects and Animation, is it possible to set the font size, or display the size of the currently selected font box?

It would be nice to be able to do this just for consistency across images with text.

Thanks in advance.

The size of the text is controlled by the "ZOOM" control in O&A/Animation Tab.

By default the Zoom for the Text Box is 15% for one line of Text, 30% for two lines etc.

You can keep the text consistent by keeping the Zoom % the same across multiple slides.

Alternatively, you can Copy and Paste a Text Box from one slide to another and change the Text.

Hi Davegee,

Thanks for the info.

I was hoping there would have been some control that showed the actual font size, or allowed you to manually enter the size of the text, similar to other applications such as Microsoft Word, Photoshop, or even in this box where I am responding to your reply.

But I think the easiest way to get the consistency at the moment is to follow your suggestion of copying the text box and pasting it into the other images and changing the text.

Regards, casman.

Don't even look at the numbers, just grab the Text & position & size to fit the image.

But as Dave says to get it consistent across images then copy & paste.
