many thanks

I’m pretty sure it is stored in the registry, but by default it is on so why do you want to turn it on? Note that you can also temporarily turn it off for a given placeholder by using the AutoFit Options button that appears to the left of the text.

Apologies – yes I would like the setting turned off.

Diana,

usual caveat ‘ dont mess with the registry – at your own risk – take a backup – etc etc ‘

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0PowerPointOptions]

“AutoFitTextBody”=dword:00000000
“AutoFitTextTitle”=dword:00000000

I guess changing ‘dword’ from all the noughts (OFF) to
dword:00000001

equals ON

Cheers
