Turn off font auto-resize?
Hi. I find the font auto-resize feature a very annoying time-waster, but don't know how to turn it off.
Can you help me set the font that it does not resize itself (bigger or smaller) based on the real-time dimensions of the text box? Thanks!

Hello Madison. You need to right-click on the text box and select Format Shape. Then click the Text Box tab and select "Do not Autofit." I find this as the default really annoying as well but don't think there is currently a way to change the default.
Hi Madison and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Looks like Brett has you taken care of here, so just let us know if you need anything further.

Where is the global setting? I have 2 long courses with hundreds of text boxes that need the auto resize turned off.

Hi, David -- To the best of my knowledge, there is not a way that is currently available to make this adjustment globally, and you are welcome to share your request for this functionality with our Product Development team by way of a feature request using this form.
In the meantime, you may also want to check out this thread for some additional ideas you may be able to use.

Hey, you know that you can perform this same action on the slide master and then it will take on all of your subsequent slides, right?

Thanks Doug, great suggestion. This should eliminate this issue going forward.
However, having trouble applying this update retroactively to existing slides though...any ideas?
Thanks Doug for sharing here - and although this thread is a bit older, it's always good to have other ideas and solutions shared here.
