As you add text to a content placeholder, the AutoFit feature changes the line spacing and the font size of the text if you add more text than will fi t in
the placeholder. The AutoFit feature is turned on by default. When you start typing the next bullet, you will see the AutoFit feature adjust the text to
make it fi t. If the AutoFit feature adjusts the text in a text box, the AutoFit Options button appears in the Slide pane below and to the left of the
placeholder. You can click the AutoFit Options button and select an option on the menu to control the way AutoFit works.
Using Themes
Plain white slides with a common font (such as black Times New Roman or Calibri) often fail to hold an audiences attention. In todays information age, audiences
expect more interesting color schemes, fonts, graphics, and other effects. To make it easy to add color and style to your presentations, PowerPoint provides themes.
(Refer to the figure below.) Theme colors are the colors used for the background, title text, body text, accents, background colors and objects, and graphics in a
presentation. Theme fonts are two fonts or font styles, one for the titles (or headings) and one for text in content placeholders. In some themes, the title and body
fonts are the same, just different sizes and possibly different colors. Other themes use different title and body fonts in various sizes and colors. Some themes include
graphics as part of the slide background. A graphic is a picture, shape, design, graph, chart, or diagram. Every presentation has a theme. Even the blank presentation
that opens when you first start PowerPoint or when you create a new presentation without selecting another theme has the default Office theme applied. The theme
you choose for your presentation should reflect the content and the intended audience. For example, if you are presenting a new curriculum to a group of elementary
school teachers, you might choose a theme that uses bright, primary colors. On the other hand, if you are presenting a new marketing plan to a mutual fund company,
you might choose a theme that uses dark colors formatted in a way that conveys sophistication.
