How do you keep consistent spacing between text blocks when one expands?

I'm creating a template for slide presentations and some presentation titles may go to two lines. How do set the spacing between the title and subtitle text boxes so that it will stay consistent (i.e. the subtitle box slides down) when the title is at two lines?

Answer

Other than writing an add-in to handle this sort of thing, the only way to do it is manually.

But another approach would be to allow enough room *above* the title placeholder for two lines, then set the placeholder's text box alignment to Bottom:

Select the text box

Rightclick, choose Format Shape

In the Format Shape dialog, click Text Box on the left

On the right, next to Vertical Alignment, choose Bottom.

This will cause the text box to grow UPWARD as more text is added, rather than downward, so it won't overwrite the subtitle text box.
