I've previously said that Google Slides gives you pretty exact typographical control.
There are some additional typography features that we're going to look at in this video.
I've got my text powerful presentation selected, and I'm going to choose the format options button
from the toolbar.
And here you'll see a number of formatting options broken into different categories.
First, we have size and rotation.
Note that the size and rotation options refer to the text box, not just the text itself.
So, for example, changing the width and height would not change the size of the text.
It would simply change the size of the text box if I change the height from two point twenty four to
two inches.
Notice it's only the size of the box.
That's changed.
However, I can set my text at an angle by changing the angle of the box.
Let's go with 15 degrees just like that, or we could bring it back to zero degrees.
Here I can rotate 90 degrees.
And if I move my text.
And reduce the font size.
Til it fits inside of the slide.
Now I have some pretty cool sideways text like that.
In addition to size and rotation, I have exact positioning here where I can choose an exact position
relative to the top left or center of the slide.
So for example, if I choose center and zero on the x axis and zero on the y axis, that text is now
exactly centered in the slide.
I have some additional text fitting options which control exactly how the text fits inside the box with
options like indentation and padding.
And here I can add a drop shadow to my text so you can see once this is opened, there's a slight drop
shadow behind the text.
With Google Slides, I can make adjustments to the drop shadow, for example, the transparency of the
drop shadow.
The angle of the drop shadow from the letters.
The distance of the drop shadow from the letters.
And how much blur the drop shadow has?
I will say that when it comes to effects like drop shadows, less is more be subtle.
It's going to give you a better result overall in your presentation.
The final option here is reflection.
Reflection allows me to create a reflection of the text.
And then, of course, gives me some adjustments as far as distance size of the reflection.
And the transparency of the reflection.
I don't use reflection too much, but it is an option for you.
So there you can see some additional format options for your text and Google Slides.
