How do I keep PowerPoint from resizing my text?

How do I keep PowerPoint from resizing my text?

Even if you have the auto-size feature disabled in the PowerWorship program settings, PowerPoint may not honor your selected font size if AutoFit is enabled in PowerPoint. Below are instructions for disabling text AutoFit in PowerPoint (Office XP edition). The menu options may differ for other PowerPoint versions.

How can I keep my text from resizing as I type?

Turn off text AutoFit (this is on by default). When resizing is turned off, Microsoft PowerPoint will not reduce your font size and line spacing to fit spillover text into a placeholder (including the placeholder for notes on notes pages).

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
2. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
3. Under Apply as you type, do any of the following:
- To turn off AutoFit for title text, clear the AutoFit title text to placeholder check box.
- To turn off AutoFit for body text, clear the AutoFit body text to placeholder check box.
