Body Formatting

Being the highest level of formatting available within a shape, the body properties allow for the manipulation of the text area as a whole. This means that all paragraphs and runs of text for the shape in question would be encompassed within here and, therefore, follow the text body style defined here.

example:

Rather than try to change each of the paragraphs to a smaller font size to fit in the shape, just use a body-level format property such as the <normAutofit>. This will apply to all text within the shape and scale the text by a certain percentage in order to fit within the shape.

<p:txBody>
  <a:bodyPr>
    <a:normAutofit fontScale="20000" lnSpcReduction="20000"/>
  </a:bodyPr>
  …
  <a:p>
  …
  </a:p>
  <a:p>
  …
  </a:p>
  <a:p>
  …
  </a:p>
</p:txBody>
