In Google Slides, you can change an object's size and position by accessing specific options available through the Format menu. This method allows for precise adjustments to where your object or text box appears on the slide.
Accessing Size & Position Options
To modify an object's placement and dimensions using the Format menu, follow these steps:
- Open Your Presentation: On your computer, open a presentation in Google Slides that contains the object you wish to adjust.
- Select the Object: Navigate to the slide containing the object or text box you want to modify and click on it to select it.
- Open the Format Menu: In the menu located at the top of your screen, click on Format.
- Choose Size & Position: From the Format dropdown menu, select Size & Position. This action will typically open a sidebar or panel on the right side of your screen.
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open Presentation | Access your Google Slides file. |
| 2 | Select Object/Text Box | Click the item on the slide. |
| 3 | Click Format | Locate and click the "Format" menu option. |
| 4 | Select Size & Position | Choose this option from the Format menu. |
Making Changes via Size & Position
Once the "Size & Position" options are open, you can then Make changes to the object or text box. This panel provides controls where you can numerically input values to adjust the object's width, height, rotation, and importantly, its position on the slide relative to the top-left corner. While the reference does not detail the specific inputs within this panel, accessing it is the crucial step described for modifying these properties.
This method is particularly useful for achieving exact alignment or dimensions that might be difficult with manual dragging.
