Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for sizing to text.

When you create an object – text or graphic – it can either fit around its text exactly, or you can control the size to be bigger or smaller than the text.

To make an object size itself to the text:


 * 1) Select the object.
 * 2) Choose Sized To Text from the Draw menu. The object will resize itself (when deselected) to fit around its text.

More Information:

A graphic object without text is not affected. If you try to resize an object while the Sized To Text command is checkmarked, you cannot. It “snaps back” to its text size.

To resize an object regardless of its text, choose the checkmarked Sized To Text to turn the option off. Now when you resize the object it won’t “snap back” to its text size.

Objects that change their size when you are done typing have Sized To Text turned on. Turn it off, then resize the object back to its original size.

For more information about this topic, refer to Pages 135 and 357 of your “Microsoft PowerPoint User’s Guide.”
