I have a drag and drop style question in my project but I can't increase the size of the font in the answer choices and they are too small to read even despite just a single word for each choice. When I right click on the text handle and access the Format Shape and Text Box, the option that I need (I think) Resize shape to fit text is greyed out. In other words it seems to be locked down. Is there a way to allow me to edit the text size? Thanks in advance
If you only need to resize the font, You can try to work on the Slide View (instead of Form) view of the drag and drop question. And then, highlight the text inside the shapes you need to modify the size Afterward, navigate on the Home tab and on the Font section directly change the value there for the font size. But I think the shapes are fixed and if you try to put multiple words inside the shape, the font size will be disregarded and font size will shrink.
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately when I try that, the text doesn't resize, I think because the shape cannot accommodate a larger font. I can't see how to resize the shape - could it be fixed since I'm using one of the templates?
Hi James, it seems like the shape sizes are fixed on this built-in template. In any case, you can try also to create customize drag and drop interactions where you can resize text and shapes, you can check these articles below.
