Handle Overflow

Introduction

CRE documents carry a lot of data, so it's not uncommon to hit content overflow — when the amount of content exceeds the slide size. Lev Memo makes it easy to spot and fix.

What is content overflow?

Content overflow happens when content exceeds the designated slide size, which is fixed to the standard PowerPoint presentation format.

How to spot it

• A "Warning — content overflow detected" label appears on the top left of the slide.
• A yellow "Warning — content overflow detected" message appears on the slide with the overflow area greyed out.

Hidden line spaces

There might be a hidden empty line underneath your content that's causing overflow.

1. Find the empty line

   Click on the empty line in your slide.

   The cursor is on the hidden empty line.
2. Delete it

   Delete the empty line using the Backspace or Delete key.

   The overflow warning clears.

Table text wrapping

Text line wrapping within a table may elongate it and cause overflow. Adjusting column widths usually resolves the issue.

1. Find the wrapping column

   Locate the column where a cell has multiple lines of text.

   You've identified the column that's too narrow.
2. Resize the column

   Use the column's ⋯ menu and choose Autosize column, or click the right border of the column and drag it to adjust manually.

   The text fits on one line and the table no longer overflows.

Too many rows in a table

Sometimes the provided table was too dense for a single slide. You can delete rows or split them across a new slide.

Delete rows

Select the rows you want to delete and click the trash icon in the row's menu.

Copy rows to a new slide

1. Select the rows to move

   Pick the rows you want to copy off the current slide.

   The rows are highlighted.
2. Cut them

   Press Ctrl+X (PC) or Cmd+X (Mac).

   The rows are on your clipboard.
3. Add a new slide

   Add a new slide using the "+" icon below any slide.

   A fresh slide is ready to receive the rows.
4. Paste

   Paste the rows onto the new slide.

   The rows land on the new slide, keeping their formatting.

Image too large

An image may be too large and exceed the slide size. Readjust to fix the overflow.

1. Select the image

   Click on the image that is too large.

   The image's resize handles are visible.
2. Resize or delete

   Drag the borders to resize, or delete the image entirely.

   The slide fits without overflow.

Accent too large

Reducing the width of an accent creates more room for text and content.

1. Grab the accent border

   Click the border between the accent and the rest of the content.

   You're resizing the accent region.
2. Drag to resize

   Drag the border to readjust the accent size.

   The slide fits without overflow.

Text too long

Reducing text or content is often the quickest fix.

1. Click the text

   Click on the text you want to edit.

   The text block is active.
2. Trim it

   Delete or edit the text as needed.

   The overflow is resolved.
