Text Entry format issue
Dec 09, 2015
Hi all,
I'm going mental with the text entry formats... I'm working on a Fill-in-the-blank graded slide, but I can't change the 'Type your answer here…' format. It shows with the selected format on design view, but when I preview it keeps setting it in smaller font. Then once you click and start typing, it gets the selected font size again. I just want it to have the same format after and before you start typing the answer. This object don't have states to edit as other objects do, so I am out of ideas of how to solve this problem. See attached story file.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the misery that is text entry boxes.
The best discussion thread on this issue is this one. Some have had some success with a few hacks mentioned there, but when I was struggling with this issue I just let it ride (I had upwards of 15 text boxes per slide and it became overwhelming to fix them).
Thanks Michael for sharing a link to that thread. Since it does include a few different issues as I mentioned what'd I'd like to have you do is share a file with our Support engineers so that they could test it and confirm which element it may match with or if they're able to determine a fix. Then we can also associate this thread with the appropriate issue to follow up here once there is additional information to share.
