Presentations also allows you to change the letter spacing and character pitch of text if necessary.

Letter spacing is the horizontal distance between characters. Giving a value smaller than 100% causes the characters to appear closer together than normal; giving a value larger than 100% causes the characters to appear farther apart.

Changing the character pitch changes the width of the characters themselves rather than the distance between them, thus the characters are distorted.

To change these settings, click on the group arrow in the bottom right corner of the ribbon tab Home | group Character. In the dialog box, switch to the Spacing tab and enter the required values for Letter spacing or Character pitch.

Note: Some printers do not support changing the character pitch for internal printer fonts. The font then appears wider or narrower on the screen but not in the printout.
