38 Chapter 3 Working With Text, Graphics, and Other Media

3 When you’re finished typing, click outside the text box. Or, to stop editing text and

select the text box, press Command-Return.

4 Drag the handles on the text box to change its width.

Free text boxes automatically grow or shrink vertically to accommodate the length of

your text. You cannot make them taller by dragging. To make a free text box taller

without expanding its contents, drag the selection handles to make the box narrower

(that is, force the box to grow vertically).

You can drag text boxes anywhere on a slide. For more information about modifying

text boxes, see “Resizing, Moving, and Layering Objects” on page 47.

Note: You can also put text within a shape. See “Adding Text to Shapes” on page 45.

Formatting Bulleted Text and Numbered Lists

You can change the properties—including the font, color, or spacing of lines and

words—of text at any time. For bulleted text, you can select from a range of bullet

and numbering styles. You can even use an image of your own as a bullet. You make

most text changes using the Text Inspector and Font panel.

You can also create engaging visual effects with text by changing its color, shadow,

opacity, and orientation on the screen. To learn more about these options, see

Chapter 4, “Changing Object Properties.”

To change the font:

1 Select the text you want to change and choose Format > Font > Show Fonts (or click

Fonts in the toolbar).

2 In the Font panel, select a font and size.

Using the Text Inspector

In the Text Inspector, you can adjust all basic text properties in your slides. Use it to

change the color, alignment, and spacing of selected text. If you select bulleted text,

you can also change the bullet style.
