Character Rotate

This is simply rotation for each character in the caption. Rather than the
entire caption rotating around, each character rotates in place. The value
ranges and directions of rotation are otherwise the same as other rotation
options.

Character Spacing
Character Spacing allows you to set the amount of blank space that
appears between each individual character in your caption. By default,
your caption will be set to 100%. Adjusting the value to the left will reduce
the space between characters, while adjusting it to the right will increase it.

This can be very useful when arranging a caption for artistic use in your
slide. In publishing, this adjustment is known as “kerning”.

Line Spacing

Line Spacing does the same job as character spacing, but it spaces out
entire lines of text, rather than individual characters. When you have
multiple lines of text in your caption, you may find that you want those lines
to be closer or further apart, similar to adding double-spacing in a word
processor.

Moving the slider to the left will decrease the space between lines, while
moving the slider right will increase it. In publishing, this process is called
“leading”, pronounced like the metal.

Let’s create an example that demonstrates how these additional Caption
Placement options can be used. We’re going to create a caption that reads
vertically, rather than horizontally.
