Can I prevent PowerPoint from reducing the font size?

[Wolfgang Schulze]

Hi,

When you create a new slide and keep adding bulletpoint after bulletpoint,
at some point PowerPoint 2003 will start decreasing the font size, so that
the content still fits into the provided area. This feature may be
convenient at times, but when you have to manage hundreds of slides, you may
end up with a mess where font sizes vary from slide to slide.

In order to ensure uniform layout throughout long presentations, I would
like to switch off that feature. Does anyone know if that is possible?
(I don't want PowerPoint to make the decision for me. If the font size needs
adjustment, I'd like to do it myself...;-)

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Regards,
Wolfgang

Go to Tools--> AutoCorrect Options and go to the "AutoFormat as you Type"
tab. Uncheck the bottom three selections and PPT will stop making these kind
of decisions for you
