How to justify text in Power Point

Hi,

I think I have to select the entire text in the text box. I was trying by just selecting a portion of text.

Its working now.

Zulfiqar,

It seems to me that you have pressed enter at the end of each line creating three separate paragraphs. Moreover they are only consisting of one line or one character.

Justifying will only be apparent when typing a minimum of three consecutive lines of text. The last line of the text will not be justified as it would create large gaps between the words.

Hi,

If I press delete to remove the 'enter' key, it forms a large line and if then I press 3 line justify tab its not doing anything..

It worked for 2 paragraphs but fr another large paragraph its not working.

Is there a requirement for number of characters in a line?

Please guide me.

Hi,

I think I am able to understand now.

I reduced the text window too much. Larger lines went below but they can't join with other lines below it because their last character contains the 'enter' key which precludes thir merger with the lines below them. So I pressed delete at their ends to delete the 'enter' key character. When I pressed the delete key, the line below it came above but it got aligned (i.e justified) when it hit the boundary of the text box.

Thanks.

It is close to NEVER that I would want to justify text in PowerPoint. The line length is simply too short. Even with long lines, justified text is harder for people to read.

In a presentation you generally want short lines - bullet points - not something for people to read.

I guess if you are running it in a kiosk without a live presenter, there can be times when you want enough text that justification will not look too bad.
