Key notes
AutoFit is a feature in PowerPoint that shrinks the text’s size if you type more text than what can fit in the text placeholders.
It is usually enabled by default so that more text can fit in on a slide; this might work for some people, but if it doesn’t for you, you can turn off AutoFit in PowerPoint to create easy-to-read text slides.
Why you might want to disable AutoFit? You might wonder why AutoFit is a bad feature as it reduces the text’s size to ensure the text stays inside the placeholders, making the slides look neat.
However, the feature allows adding too much text to the slides, cluttering them and making them hard to read, making the presentation less effective and difficult to follow.
How do I get rid of AutoFit in PowerPoint?
1. Use the AutoFit Options
Now you can arrange the text in your presentation as you like on thePowerPoint app.
2. Use the Format Shape options
How can I turn off AutoFit for the entire presentation?
1. Use the File menu
2. Use the AutoFit options
So, these are the methods to turn off AutoFit in PowerPoint and take control of the text on your presentation.
