Format the Text Box Size

A few minutes ago you resized the Text Box by dragging one of the Shape handles. Here is a more precise method to format the Size.

 

1. Try it: Format the Size of a Text Box

Go to Slide 3 and select the Text Box.

Go to Drawing Tools->Format->Size.

Type the Width: 3.25"
 

2. What Do You See? When you changed the width, the height may not always resize proportionately. In the example on this page the height stayed the same.

 

Our lessons have looked at Text, Text Boxes, Pictures and Shapes. Each of these objects can be customized with the Drawing Tools. OK, that's enough about Shapes for a minute.
