3 Click outside the text box when you’re finished typing, or press Command-Return to stop
editing text and select the text box. Selection handles appear on the sides of the text box.
4 Drag the selection handles to make the text box wider or more narrow.
Note: Free text boxes automatically grow or shrink vertically to accommodate the length of
your text. You cannot make them taller by dragging. If you want to make a free text box
longer without expanding its contents, drag the selection handles to make the box more
narrow and force it to grow vertically.
Text boxes can be moved to any position on the slide. See “Resizing, Moving, and Layering
Text or Graphic Objects” on page 40.
Changing Text Properties
Once you have added text to your slide, you may want to adjust its look, including the font,
color, or spacing of lines and words. For bulleted text, you can select from a range of bullet
and numbering styles. You can even use small pictures as bullets. You make most text
changes using the Text Inspector and Fonts window.
You can also create engaging visual effects with text by changing its color, shadow, opacity,
and orientation on the screen. To learn more about these, see Chapter 4, “Changing Object
Properties.”
To change the font:
1 Choose Format > Fonts > Show Fonts (or click Fonts in the toolbar). The Fonts window
opens.
2 Select the text you want to change.
3 Select a font type and size in the Fonts window.
