How to increase text height on Powerpoint

Note: Instructions are given on  PowerPoint 2010 .

1. Change spacing and font size

Step 1: Highlight the text or letter whose spacing needs to be changed.

Step 2: Then, go to the Home tab in the font group -> select AV -> you can choose some available spacing as follows:

+ Very Tight : very narrow
+ Tight : narrow
+ Normal : normal
+ Loose : wide
+ Very Loose : very wide

Step 3: If you find the spacing and stretch unsatisfactory, you can change the spacing option by clicking More Spacing

The custom interface appears -> here, you click the exact distance on By .

As a result, the spacing between letters in your presentation changes as you wish.

2. Change text height using WordArt

Step 1: To change the height of the text when you insert WordArt, you need to insert the WordArt text first. To insert, follow the instructions HERE . The operations in this tutorial can be performed in the same way as in PowerPoint 2010.

Step 2: After inserting the text, you can increase or decrease the font size to change the height of the text in Powerpoint.

Step 3: If you still want to stretch the text in one direction or increase the height of the text in one direction , you just need to create the text you want -> then take a screenshot -> then insert the image -> then you can stretch the image normally, and then the text captured as an image will stretch in one direction as you want.

- Insert image by going to Insert -> select Picture to insert image

- Stretch the image to increase the height of the text on Powerpoint

Increasing the height of text in PowerPoint makes your presentation clearer and easier to read. By adjusting the spacing between characters or using WordArt, you can create the effect of taller text while maintaining the same width.

Additionally, if you need to change the text ratio in a certain direction, you can convert the text to an image and stretch it freely. This is especially useful when designing professional presentation slides, ensuring that the content stands out and attracts viewers.
