Internal margins are relevant to all three types of text containers in PowerPoint. These three containers are text boxes, text placeholders, and shapes that contain text. Internal margins control the amount of blank space between the perimeter (edge) and the actual text within the text container. Although these margins are similar to the margins of pages in a word-processing document like Microsoft Word, there is a significant difference. Each text container has its own individual margins set, and you can have entirely different margins for different text containers, even if they reside on the same slide.

In PowerPoint resizing Text Boxes is easy. You select any Text Box and you get eight handles, four on corners, and four on sides, you then drag any of these eight handles to resize. The problem with this approach is that the resized Text Box you end up with is not accurate. If you do not need accuracy, then you need not follow the rest of this tutorial. However, there might be times when you need your Text Box sized exactly as the size of a picture you have inserted, or even an exact size based on a specification.
