Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / March 2007Getting titles to appear in ALL CAPS
My client wants her PowerPoint titles on each slide to appear in all caps, Arial. I have set up the slide master to appear this way but no matter what, it does not carry over to each slide. I type content and it appears in upper and lower. I have spent over 2 hours researching this and I can't find anything. Please help. > My client wants her PowerPoint titles on each slide to appear in all > caps, Arial.

The client will have to enter the text with the desired casing. It's not that you're missing anything, it's just that PPT doesn't do this. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Even worse...

Although I personally prefer to use a titling font such as one of the flavors of Engravers, Copperplate, Perpetua Titling, etc. Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac > Hi Steve - > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > a titling font such as one of the flavors of Engravers, Copperplate, > Perpetua Titling, etc. Using a titling font might be just the thing for a designer who's creating templates for users (who can't be counted on to use the change case button). Good one. Change case does work nicely (other than Title Case Which Capitalizes Even Words Like A And The And An ... but doesn't let you type InternalCapsLikeThis.) But the ability to force upper/lower case et al is often requested. So I just added the feature to one of our addins. Pity they only work on the Windows version ... ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ All except the Unicade string constants work on the Mac.

Alas. Steve |
