I am using APEX 22.1.2. I have a text editor that I need to make the space between lines smaller. How to do so?

I made a PowerPoint template where one of the text boxes is configured with a font size, a fixed height and width, and "Shrink text on overflow".
I read the PPTX in a web service, replace the text inside the text box, and send the finished document to the client. Regularly the text inside the box is more than would fit within the box with the default font size. However, when the PPTX from the server is opened by the client, the text is still overflowing outside the bounds of the text box. Only after for example duplicating the slide will PowerPoint adapt the font size in the text box to let the text fit.
How can I force PowerPoint to already update the layout when first opening/displaying the document, instead of only when actually modifying the document manually? I tried setting each and every "dirty" attribute inside the slide XML, as I was confident this would force PowerPoint to recalculate the layout, but didn't actually help.
Any ideas on the issue? My only other option would be to open the document via automation on the server and force the layout update there.
Thanks in advance!
I designed a label in a Zebra Label Designer and outputed the zpl code to a file. All my text is encoded in a ^GFA command which is not useable to me because I want to be able to replace text in the label progromatically. How do I design my labels so that the text is not encoded in the program code?
Make sure you use printer-resident fonts when you add a text field in ZebraDesigner. The printer-resident font names listed in the dropdown box of ZebraDesigner typically start with the word Zebra.
I am writing a small CNC G-Code editor. I would like to load the code file into a rich text box (or other?) and color highlight the X,Y,Z,Rand F as it loads.
I've tried loading the file and parsing it afterwords by running through a character at a time to determine what it is and then coloring it but this is impossibly slow. some of my G-Code programs run to thousands of lines.
I know it can be done..... but in VB6??
The richText controls can have RTF data "streamed" into it, or you can append text and set the colours as you go.
If it needs to be done "live" then do it when the cursor's line changes and recolour just the previous line.
I have a textbox control inside of a software app which has some text in it. That software is using a custom font which doesn't exist anywhere else and is just specific to this program. I don't have it's source or access to it's creators. Now I want to copy that text inside of a notepad or MS word but when I do the text is no more readable unless I change the font of word processor to the font that the software is using (the font that text is written with). So I want the text to be readable anywhere and not to depend on a specific font. So is it possible?
I'm a c# programmer. Here is an example of unreadable text:
ý¶† ±øõœ ý¶† –ý¾‡¨ ÿ†°†¬ ñð‡ì úÞ±¶ Ä쇤 ½±”
à¥ì ±øõœ þ·ñœŒ Ý稆Œ ô±º±” (.ì)
[þü‡íý‘†õø]
ý¶†
[þ¶ñùì ïõéÎ]
±øõœ ý¶† ‡º±”
[þíýº]
ý¶†
[úð‡ýì‡Î —‡¤çȾ†] ÿ¬.¹†.ë† °©ì ÿû¬‡ì ²† þÎõð.ÿ¬.¹†.ë†"
The interesting thing is that it's showing up like this in almost all the fonts except the one that text is originally written with. By the way the text is in Arabic and all of fonts that I tested the text with are supporting Arabic chars.
Now if I type some text that consist of English and Arabic in that font then change the font of notepad to some other font it's looks OK and works normal! So the problem only appears when the text is pasted into the word processor.
EDIT: I think I found the problem! The custom font is a raster font (bitmap font) which has a .fon extension and in the following thread someone wanted to convert the bitmap font to ttf since he was having a problem in printing the documents. I want to copy and paste, so maybe I have to convert the font ?
The discussion:
how to convert a bitmap font .fon into a truetype font ttf
Any kind of help is really appreciated.
thank you.

If I had seen this question on superuser.com my answer would have been:
You can change the font of text from font A to Arial.
For example in Microsoft Word
Open the Replace dialog box (Edit >> Replace or Ctrl + H)
Make sure no text is specified in the Find what or Replace with boxes
Click in the Find what box, then click Format (If you don’t see the Format button, click More to expand the search options)
Select Font from the pop up list
In the Find Font dialog box, select the text formatting options you would like to replace
Click OK
Click in the Replace with box
Click Format
Select Font from the pop up list
In the Replace Font dialog box, select the new text formatting options you would like to apply
Click OK
Click Replace all
Click OK
Click Close
(from http://wordprocessing.about.com/cs/quicktips/qt/fontreplace.htm)
As an aside: If the document uses styles, it is actually much easier to change the font. For this reason I try to always use styles and never directly apply fonts to text.
If you are not referring to Word documents, please amend your question to say exactly what software was used to create the text - or exactly what file-format the text is stored in.
Since you asked on stackoverflow.com I slowly deduced you may be writing a program in some unspecified programming language. I suggest you edit your question and specify what programming language you are using and give some example code to illustrate the problem.
For example, in Java you might do something like
JLabel label = new JLabel("hello world");
label.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12));
It sounds very much as though the author of the original program has invented their own character encoding and provided a font to go with it. Maybe the development tools were restricted to ANSI text and the developers came up with this extreme solution.
Test out the hypothesis by writing some English text in the custom
font and see if Arabic
characters appear.
If this is so then you will have to work out what the encoding is and translate the strings character by character.
I cannot figure out how to do this.
All I want to do is to select some text and then change the color of that text to red, say. I've lost 20 minutes of my life trying to do this.
Typing 'font color' into help search brings up a reference to lesson 2, which doesn't even contain the word font or color. (Is TextWrangler low quality?)
How do I do this?
Many thanks!
TextWrangler is a text editor, not a word processor. You can pick any font or color you like the display the text for a given file, but you can't format different parts of the same file differently - it's just plain text after all.
