WordArt font sizes
I am using PowerPoint 2002 and have hit a peculiar problem with the use of
WordArt which I use for slide titles. When I create a straight WordArt title, using for example Arial Black 36 point, PowerPoint creates a title with the text I used. If I widen or narrow the created box, that obviously changes the shape and size of the letters. Yet when I edit the WordArt I created to change the text, the font is still shown as a 36 point font - which is obviously not the case since it has been distorted by my changing the size of the object. How can this be? How can 2 different sized texts be the same font size? How can I keep the font sizes and letter sizes consistent as I use the same WordArt (with changed lengths of text) in different slides? Thanks. -- Jeff Stevens Email address deliberately false to avoid spam |

WordArt font sizes
WordArt isn't truly text, it's an Autoshape that looks like text. The font
size is the initial creation size and once you resize the WordArt shape, it no longer applies. However, if you change the font size the WordArt shape will resize to the new font setting. If you want consistency in your titles, don't use WordArt or be prepared to resize each title as you change the text. -- Thanks, Glenna Shaw Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team http://www.pptmagic.com "Jeff" wrote: I am using PowerPoint 2002 and have hit a peculiar problem with the use of WordArt which I use for slide titles.
