Inserting tables

Post by ritu2000 »

To automatically adjust how a text box interacts with the text within it, use the Autfo-fit function. This is found directly below the Indentation tool. You can choose from Do not auto-fit, (makes the text box height fully adjustable regardless of how much text used), Shrink text on overflow (to make the text smaller if you make the text box smaller), or Resize shape to fit text (to make the text box get larger or smaller to fit your text as you add or remove content). If you choose Shrink text on overflow, be aware that Google Slides adjusts your line spacing, font size and gaps between letters to ensure it all fits. Using this setting across the deck will make your text boxes largely inconsistent!

While Indentation allows you to fine tune specific russia phone numbers paragraphs of text, Padding is used to adjust the spaces between the edge of the shape and the text. By adjusting the four Padding values (top, bottom, left and right) you can control the margins of your text box. For example, if you wanted to perfectly left-align an object with some text, you can adjust the left-hand margin to 0.

To insert a table onto your slide, go to the Insert tab in the menu bar and hover over Table. In the drop down menu you are given the option to select how many columns and rows you want (for example, 2 x 5). Once selected, your table will appear on your slide.

You can now move it around your slide or make it bigger or smaller. Each cell can have its individual indentations and margins adjusted in the same way as a normal text box. You can add or remove columns and rows by right clicking on a cell and selecting the appropriate command. You can format the lines in a table by highlighting the cells and selecting the small arrow in the top right corner of the selection. This allows you to select the appropriate line in that selection, which will allow you to quickly edit all the lines at once.
