Changing the text area

FreeOffice: The Change text area function is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

For text frames and also for drawings to which text has been added (see Drawings), you can resize the text area for the inner text in Presentations.

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.Click on the frame of the object to select it.
2.Choose the command Change text area change_text_icon on the contextual ribbon tab Object | group Inner text (or via the context menu by right-clicking on the text frame).
Note: For drawings (AutoShapes, curves, etc.), you must first add text to the shape so that you can use the commands for the inner text.
3.The frame of the inner text is now selected and some round navy "handles" appear. Drag one of these handles via the mouse to resize the text area.

When your adjustments are complete, choose the command Change text area again or simply click anywhere in the document.
