FAQ

Q1: How do I restore the default values after setting the docs margin?

  • Solution: select the ‘Standard’ preset option from the "Text Margin" dropdown menu, or manually set the margins to the default values (top and bottom margins 0.13 cm, left and right margins 0.25 cm). You can also delete the text box and recreate it; the new text box will use the default margins.

Q2: Can different text boxes have different Text Margin?

  • Solution: Yes. The Text Margin for each text box is set independently, allowing you to set different margin values for different text boxes. Simply select the corresponding text box and set it individually in the Object Properties panel.

Notes

  • The unit for docs margin is centimeters
  • Margin settings affect the layout of all text within the text box, including titles, body text, etc.
  • It is recommended to keep the margin settings consistent for similar text boxes within the same slides to maintain visual uniformity
