Aligning and Spacing Text

graphics/microsoft63.gif

PowerPoint enables you to control the way text lines up on the slide. You can align text to the left or right or to the center in a text object. You can also adjust the alignment of text in an object by selecting the object and clicking an alignment button (Align Left, Center, or Align Right) on the Formatting toolbar. The Align Left button aligns text evenly along the left edge of the text box and is useful for paragraph text. The Align Right button aligns text evenly along the right edge of the text box and is useful for text labels. The Center button aligns text in the middle of the text box and is useful for titles and headings. Adjust the vertical space between selected lines and the space before and after paragraphs by selecting the object and clicking a line spacing button (Increase Paragraph Spacing or Decrease Paragraph Spacing) on the Formatting toolbar or by using the Line Spacing command on the Format menu.
