Correcting and Sizing Text While Typing 407

Clear the AutoFit Title Text To Placeholder and AutoFit Body Text To Placeholder check boxes

to stop making text fit in the placeholder.

In this exercise, you’ll use AutoCorrect to fix a misspelled word and you’ll add an

AutoCorrect entry. Then you’ll use AutoFit to size text so that it fits within its placeholder

and to make a long bulleted list fit on one slide by converting its placeholder to a two-

column layout.

SET UP You need the CommunityServiceA_start presentation located in your

Chapter14 practice file folder to complete this exercise. Open the Community-

ServiceA_start presentation, and save it as CommunityServiceA. Then follow

the steps.

1. Display slide 2 , and click the content placeholder.


2. Being careful for the purposes of this exercise to include the misspellings, type Set
   up teh teem, press the Enter key, and then type Gather adn analyze data.
   Almost immediately, AutoCorrect changes teh to the and adn to and. Notice that
   AutoCorrect does not change teem to team, or even flag it as a misspelling because
   teem is a legitimate word. PowerPoint cannot detect that you have used this hom-
   onym for team incorrectly. (A homonym is a word that sounds the same as another
   word but has a different meaning.)


3. Click the File tab to display the Backstage view, click Options, and then in the left
   pane of the PowerPoint Options dialog box, click Proofing.
