What it does

KPT Palette in a minute

KPT Palette keeps the formatting you use most in one panel beside the slide, instead of across ribbon tabs and dialogs. Pick a colour, set a line width or transparency, and type an exact width and height in centimetres.

It also handles type: the typeface, capitals or small letters, paragraph alignment and margins, and how text fits its box. Select something on the slide and the panel reads its current values, so you always start from what is there.

  • Colour in one place

    Fill, line colour, line width and transparency without leaving the slide.

  • Exact sizes

    Width and height in centimetres, with an aspect lock.

  • Reads the selection

    Select a shape and the panel shows its current values.

  • Type controls

    Typeface, CAPS, lower case and title case in one row.

  • Paragraph and margins

    Alignment, vertical position and inner margins, side by side.

  • Text fitting

    Do not autofit, shrink on overflow, resize to text, wrap on or off.
