“Details are the difference between good stuff and great stuff.” Adjusting the indentation, spacing, and line spacing in your Google Slides can significantly enhance the readability and visual appeal of your presentation. Let’s break down the steps to customize these settings and give your slides a polished look.
Why Customize Indentation and Spacing?
Customizing indentation and spacing can make your content easier to read and more visually appealing. Proper spacing ensures your audience can follow along without straining their eyes, and appropriate indentation highlights key points.
How to Change Indentation
Changing indentation in Google Slides is super simple. Here’s how:
- Open Your Presentation: Start by opening the Google Slides presentation you want to edit.
- Select the Text: Click on the text box containing the text you want to indent.
- Adjust Indentation: Click on “Format” in the menu bar, then select “Align & indent.” From here, choose “Indentation options.” You can adjust the left and right indentation by entering the desired values. Click “Apply” to see the changes.
How to Change Spacing
Spacing includes both the space between paragraphs and the space within them. Here’s how to adjust both:
- Paragraph Spacing: Select the text box containing your text. Click on “Format” in the menu bar, then select “Line spacing.” Choose “Add space before paragraph” or “Add space after paragraph” from the dropdown menu to adjust the spacing.
- Line Spacing: Within the same “Line spacing” menu, you can also adjust the spacing within paragraphs. Choose from options like “Single,” “1.15,” “1.5,” or “Double.” If you need custom spacing, select “Custom spacing” and enter your desired values.
