00:08so over here you can see that I have a shape and a text within it and if you
00:14want to access its formatting properties then you can go around choose the object
00:18that you want the formatting properties for and then click on format options
00:23once you do that over here on the right side you can see that there are various
00:27format options that you can use for example their size and rotation so you
00:32can increase up the size right here and what you can also do to increase out size
00:35is click and drag this out over here as well and increase out the height as well
00:40so you can do this or you can pull this and push this right here to change out
00:45the size over here you can also go around work around with the width scale right
00:48here in percentage or lock the aspect ratio if you don't want it to be able to
00:54resize one to be resized from one section so if you were to use this you can see
00:59that it resizes from both equally right here just like this but if I were to
01:05actually use the handles this does not actually work around similarly you can
01:09also rotate this out by using this number right here or you can type in the exact
01:13number that you want to rotate this with as well or you can click and drag this
01:17little circular icon as well you can also rotate this to 90 degrees or flip it out
01:23left and right or top to bottom over here just like this as well flip vertically and
01:29horizontally according to how you like it besides that you can work around with
01:33position so if I were to click and drag you can see that it's actually changing
01:36the X and Y position and let's say if you want it to be 2 by 2 inch from X
01:42and Y
01:42axis then you can simply type it in and it is 2 by 2 inch from X and Y axis
01:47this
01:48point right here as you can see you can go around and from you can also see from
01:52center so if I were to go around and type in zero zero it's right in the center
01:56but from top left it is 2.62 and 1.888 right here so what you can also do is
02:03you
02:03can go around on to text fitting right here so if you were to go around from
02:07the left or right right here just like this what happens is that text fitting
02:11actually works around so if I were to go around just like this you can see that
02:14this is what you have so from the left you can actually push this out over here as
02:19well and from the right you can push it out as well so that there is a bit of
02:23gap from the left and right section as well you can also go around on to first
02:27line right here so you can go around with first line indentation over here as well
02:31or hanging right here so everything is actually pushed except for the first line
02:37as well you can also go around with the padding from the top from the left from
02:41the bottom over here so if you want to you can add bottom padding right here and
02:45from the right as well and so that is how you can work around with text fitting
02:49options as well besides that you got some effects like drop shadow so if you were
02:54to go around right here you can see you can add in a bit of a drop shadow right
02:58here you can choose the color you want as well increase and decrease the
03:01transparency change around the angle of of this so let me just go around with the
03:06distance so if I were to go around change the angle you can see that this is
03:09what you have if I were to increase out the blur you can see that this is how it
03:13works out and it blurs out the shadows over there as well another effect that
03:18you can add in is reflection as you can see and this is what you have so if I
03:22were to go around right here increase and decrease the transparency just like
03:25this then you can go around increase and decrease the distance increase around the
03:30size of the reflection as well and work around with this and add in the effect
03:35you want as you can see and that is how you can work around with the formatting
03:39properties in Google drawing so if you guys learn something as always and as
