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.

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.
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.
