Dewcal Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 I am looking to produce a show (1920x1080 px) with a slide for each of the 160 presidents of a local club! This has involved photographing some very old prints (some from the 1870s). Each image will have its own slide along with individual text boxes stating the year and name of the individual. Other text boxes may be included depending on available information about the individual. Is there a way to align the centre of these text boxes so they appear neatly on screen? The size of the "name" text box will obviously vary per individual. Can this alignment be incorporated into a style once achieved? I am looking to make a "style" to incorporate the name of the club and the foundation date on every slide. Thanks for any help. Quote
davegee Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 In O&A / Properties /Alignment, choose Centre. Yes, the alignment can be incorporated into a Style or Quick Style and once applied the Text can be edited. DG Quote
Dewcal Posted January 18 Author Report Posted January 18 Dave, thanks for the reply and information. Perhaps I am mistaken, but my understanding is that this will only align the text within each individual box/object. I may not have explained my issue properly, but I am looking to have each text box aligned vertically above each other on the slide. I have tried selecting three text boxes, and while I can get each box to have the text aligned within its own box, the boxes are not aligned on the page. Hope this makes some sense! Have added a screenshot to try and explain what I wish to achieve. Quote
jkb Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Get it right for the first slide, then copy and paste onto all the other slides. You can do this in one go by using a quick slide style. Then you just have to change the text for each slide. Jill Quote
davegee Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Try adding a frame and adding your text boxes to the frame. When you have the first one set up you can pan the FRAME to the left with everything maintaining its position. Save as a Style or Quick Style. DG Quote

It appears that I have to manually get it right the first time, and that PTE will not align the text boxes to each other! Quote

DG Thanks, Dave, I will look at frames as these are not something I have ever used before! Quote
