- To reduce the point size of text until there is no text in overflow, click Shrink Text On Overflow.
If your text is changing size as you type or when you resize a text box, you have AutoFit Text turned on. Here's how to turn it off so that the text stays the same size.
- Click the text box.
- On the Format menu, point to AutoFit Text, and then click Do Not AutoFit.
With automatic copyfitting turned off, the font size remains the same whenever you resize the text box.
