Question

Font problem

This seems a silly question (it's my first project), but I have quite a lot of text inserted on blank slides as Captions that don't seem to display as expected. The first one displays perfectly as Arial 12pt, however I have several more fairly lengthy captions (also set to Arial 12pt) which look normal in the Edit view. However when I generate a preview, or publish the project, they come up in bold - and possibly slightly smaller, although I'm not sure about that. Could anyone shed any light on this?
Many thanks!

Hi TheNetMouse,

Another approach to help the text maintain a really good appearance is to highlight it with white (if you have a blank background). You do this from the caption - it's the far right button. That seems to help the text display really nicely :)

Welcome to our community, TheNetMouse

There are a couple of approaches you may use.

1. To do this for the entire project, click Edit > Preferences... > Project node and enable the option labeled:
Don't Anti-alias Captions

or

2. Edit each caption and insert a blank line at the end. Apply a bullet to the blank line and size the caption so you don't see the bullet.

Cheers... Rick
