Writing Text
by Adam Somlai-Fischer
Create text
- Double click anywhere to create text in Edit mode.
- You can drag the blue icon with arrows on the right, to adjust the width of the text box. Please note, that the width of the text box, not the actual text itself, will define the area of a text where prezi zooms to - so try to size your text boxes close to the actual texts.
- There are no numeric text sizes in Prezi - simply use the Zebra tool to scale your texts to change the size.
- To change between Title 1, Title 2 and Body fonts/colors, use the Font Style buttons below the text box. Note that one textbox can only have one font. Create multiple texts to mix colors/fonts. Look into the Colors & Fonts Bubble Menu for more font combinations (themes).
- You can use the Text Format buttons to change text alignment or to make a bulleted list (Left, Center, Right, Justify) per line, if a line is selected. If no lines are selected, it affects the whole text box.
Edit Text
- Double click on a text to edit it. If you see the Transformation Zebra on a text, just double click on it again.
- You can use copy/paste to bring text over from other programs.
- While editing a textbox, press ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste text. (use Command on MAC).
