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.

Text Boxes

A Text Box gives you even more control over the exact positing of captions.
With a Text Box, you can keep text from spilling over onto your photos -
resulting in better slide layouts. They are particularly useful when creating
complex slide designs and when making custom Slide Styles.

Activate a Text Box

To enable a Text Box, begin by clicking either of horizontal or vertical icons
next to the Text Box Size values. Notice that the icon will change into a
lock.
