Choosing Fonts and Font Sizes

Fonts are characters numbers and symbols in a style or design.

Power Point has default fonts for headings and body text.

Theme is a setting in which you set the specifications for text.

To return to the default fonts: Select a font from the Theme Fonts

section of the Font drop-down list.

Using Autofit to Change Text Size

Autofit has the function of: If you type more text than what it fits the

text will automatically get smaller so it can all fit.

If you delete some text when it has already been autofitted it will automatically get bigger( to it defaul size)

This is a very useful feature for some users but others don’t like it.

Applying Font Styles and Effects

This helps us emphasize text. To access to more font effects click the

Font Group dialog box to open the dialog box.

Power Point has a lot of different color you can apply to text.

You can select the theme colors or personalize your own color.

Copying Character Formats With Format Printer

Format Painter is a tool that helps you to copy the format of a text to another text so you don’t have to be changing all to the same Font.

To copy multiple times you can double click in the paintbrush that is located in the Home tab in Clipboard.

Set Indentation

Indent determines how far will the text will be from the left or right text box.

The Before Text applies to all lines in the paragraph and it is for changing the paragraph’s indention.

The second one is: Hanging: reverse indent( the other lines

have more indent than the first one. First Line: is the standard first-line indent (None): removes all the indents for the first

line.

You can add fills wit texture or plain colors.

Power Point has a default theme for text boxes which you may change.

Settings in your Text Box

This controls the distance between the text and the border of the text.

You can use text wrapping depending on the type of text box.

Checking Spelling

Power Point compares each work in the presentation to a dictionary and marks the ones that do not appear. It also deletes the repeated words

It is really useful because it helps you realize what mistakes you make.
