The “Text” group is part of the “TS Content” tab (previously part of the “TS Design” tab, formerly called “Time Savers 1”) of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint.
The tools in this part of the Time Savers Add-in make it possible for you to:
- Quickly and easily change the line spacing and paragraph spacing for selected text, or text in your selected shapes.
- Find and replace text in selected shapes or slides.

Line spacing:
- Set line spacing:
- Get the line spacing for the selected paragraph to use for spacing more text.
- The line spacing of your selected text or the text in your selected shape will be set based on the value you have filled in the field above, where 1 = single line spacing.
- Increase and decrease line spacing:
- The line spacing of your selected text or the text in your selected shape will be increased or decreased by a percentage of the current spacing.
Paragraph spacing:
- Get paragraph spacing:
- Get the value of the spacing before the selected paragraph to use for spacing more text.

Find and Replace Text:
- Find and replace text in your selection.
- If you have shapes selected, all selected shapes will be searched for matching text.
- If you have slides selected, all shapes on your selected slides will be searched for matching text.
- If you have no shapes or slides selected, the whole presentation will be searched for matching text.
- Options:
- Match case
- Only replace text that matches the text in the ‘Find’ field exactly.
- Whole words
- Only replace whole words.
- Replicate case
- When replacing text, the existing case will be replicated as far as possible.
- If the text being replaced is all uppercase, it will be replaced with uppercase text.
- If the text being replaced is all lowercase, it will be replaced with lowercase text.
- If the text being replaced is a mixture of uppercase and lowercase, and the first character is uppercase, it will be replaced with sentence case text (the first character will be uppercase and the rest will be lowercase).
