Hi I can't seem to be able to control the text box entry size. It either way too small or way to large. I'm including a sample file so you can see what I mean. I'm trying to have them click in a box, than a layer opens, the they are supposed to write in 100 units. But no mater what I do with the text box it's too small or too big. Can anyone help me with this?
Hi Nadja! Thanks for sharing your file here. The issue is that the Text Entry box has internal margins that are taking up too much space. You'll want to get rid of those margins completely. To do that, right-click the text entry box, select Format Shape, select Text Box, then set all four margins to 0. Let me know if this helps!
Hi Nadja, here's a shot of what the slide looks like on my end in Preview mode. I set the internal margins of the text entry box to 0, and I set the font size to 8. Is this a little closer to what you were looking to do?
I don't know how you did this but that's close. The only thing is the word "unit" has to be in there. Can you send me the file you did this to. Maybe I can figure out to get the word unit in there so it's readable.
Hmm, fitting the word "unit" might be a stretch, but you could possibly do that with a smaller font and word-wrapping. Here's the file with the updated settings. I'm interested to hear if you're able to get the additional word to fit - keep me posted!

Thank you Alyssa,
I did that but it didn't make a difference. I even selected Resize shape to fit text. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
