I'm including subtitles for the voiceover in my presentation by using the "Notes" field. On some slides, this text appears at a nearly unreadable font size. I thought at first it was dynamically sizing to accommodate lots of text, but it doesn't seem to correlate to the amount of text at all. Any help would be appreciated.
To format the notes text, you should use the View -> Notes View. This way you can see exactly what size the text is on each slide as you page through. This is also the view to use when setting up formatting for your notes.
I have used the Notes Master view in the past, but sometimes that doesn't work correctly after publishing. So I've gone to checking each slide using the Notes Page view.
This will format and change the size for both the left had Notes tab and the Notes button that shows in the bottom right of the main player bar.
I've been through the notes master and the notes view and each slide is set at Calibri size 11. However, AP 13 is still publishing at different font sizes in the Notes tab. Any suggestions?
Thanks Ashley--that's the thing--the correct font size is not showing up in the published version even though the notes master and the notes page in PPT are showing the same font size across slides. Even reset notes layout in PPT 2013 using Jeanette's tutorial. I've got a ticket open and will hopefully post solution soon.
Can someone please supply the answer to resolve this issue? I ran against the same issue when I published....Notes text was all different sizes even though consistent in PowerPt? Thanks for any direction.
Can you tell us which version of Studio you're using, please? If it's Studio '13, are you publishing and viewing HTML5 content?
Also, how are you viewing the project files? Try to make sure you're not viewing the published output files locally. If you view a published Studio '13 presentation on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.

Were you ever able to resolve this? I know it was something I did while working with the touchpad instead of a mouse, but that in no way helps me resolve the issue. Any help appreciated!
This thread is a bit dated, but you are welcome to reach out to Richard directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if needed as I'm not sure if he'd still be subscribed here.
Hopefully you checked out the solution that Christine shared above and are utilizing the latest update to your software as well.
Thank you Leslie - I will attempt to contact Richard directly. I see now that I did not specify that I am using PowerPoint, not Project. I didn't pursue the solution Christine shared, as it appeared to pertain to Project, not PowerPoint.
I know this is an older post but I found that changing the Auto Fit Option in the Notes Pages View in Power Point kept all my fonts the same when published using iSpring.
Hi I have the same problem with Presenter (latest version). I have 53 slides, and only one is showing the Calibri 11 into a Calibri 6 or 7 once published (or Previewed).
I have tried to copy paste from the notepad (it worked once on another project), change the font size many times, but to no avail. What's the bug here?
I was able to correct the "tiny text" problem for notes in "Normal" view (Powerpoint) by highlighting the text in the notes section and adjusting the zoom to a higher percentage. It cascaded to the other slides.
The font format for notes only seems to affect the printed page.
I know the original post was old, but found this site trying to correct the original problem :) and thought that future searchers might benefit.

Got it - thank you!

Hi Richard,
You may not be able to actually see all your changes in PowerPoint's notes pane, such as font and color selections, but they'll show up when you publish with Presenter. If you're changes that you're making to the format/font within Notes view is not displaying when you're viewing the published version, would you be able to package your Presenter files and share them with us here?

Hi Richard,
Can you let me know the case number so that I can follow along too?

Hi Becky! I'm not sure what you mean by Project? Are you utilizing Presenter '13, which shows as a tab/add-in to Powerpoint?
Thanks for popping in to share Danielle :)

Hi Helene!
Does the affected slide have an Engage interaction?
I ask because we have an open bug where the notes font size on embedded Engage interactions appears smaller than the Presenter notes.
Let me know if that condition matches your experience!

I'm on Powerpoint Mac version 16.45.

Thank you! This worked for me!!!
