how do I change spacing of a single text line?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date
Select the textbox, click on Home tab.
Under Font, in the second row, 6th icon, which is the character spacing. Is
that what you are looking for?

Thank you, Shawn, but I am trying to respace the text line relative to other
text lines (above or below it), not the characters in the line itself. ANy
thoughts?

Thanks,
LJC
 
Apology, misinteprete it when you say single text line.
In this case, go to the Home tab, under Paragraph, in the 1st row, 5th icon,
which is the line spacing.

Thanks again, Shawn. That did it! My only disappointment is that PPT 2003
had icons that you could use to do the function much faster. They don't seem
to be available in 2007 (or am I missing those too?).

You can add the line-spacing button to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) if you like.

If you need help doing that, give us a shout
 
HI John,

Thank you for your response, but I can't seem to find the icon from 2003
that allowed one to just highlight or even just position the cursor and then
change the line's vertical positioning relative to the other lines (without
changing any of the other lines' positions).

Thanks,
LJC
 
Response to John Wilson (above in this thread) descibes my question further.

All of the icons are different, so if you're trying to spot it visually, it won't work.

Click the Office button (that big shiny round thing)
Click PowerPoint Options
Click Customize
In the Customize pane on the right, choose commands from: ALL COMMANDS
Scroll down to "Line Spacing"
Click to select it, click Add to put it on the QAT.
Click OK.

The line spacing button appears on the QAT.
To use it, select the text you want to fiddle, then click the line spacing button and
choose Line Spacing Options, set the options you want and click OK.

Nope. There's no preview any more.
Yep. It's a horrible omission.
