Hi I am unable to change text size while using templates - it’s tiny!! I have option to nbold or underline but there is no place on bottom or floating toolbars that offers this - can anyone advise.

    Unfortunately I don't think there's any resolution/viable answers to our queries. I couldn't increase the size of the text.

    I'd say everyone has gone off to use another product. I won't be using this again; it's not worth the effort working around the lack of functionality.

    If you have Zoom already (some companies do), that has a whiteboard function. I've not tried it but been recommended this.

    The lack of this functionality is a huge let down. My only workaround is to copy and paste from a template that has text size closer to what I want

    I've have spent similar painstaking time trying to figure this out. One thing I've discovered that I don't believe is talked about enough is the fact that if you use the 'Text' tool and create text, then the sizing of that object WILL adjust the size of the text.

    So I think the workaround here is to add a text box and overlay it on an object, instead of having text in the object itself. You then have control over increasing/decreasing text size regardless of object size.

    Frustrating to say the least

    Agreed. I thought I'd found the perfect solution to being able to brainstorm some ideas but I need to be able to read the text in one box whilst having visual reference to the others. Having to zoom so wildly into a text box in order to read it, means I lose sight of other text boxes, rendering Whiteboard utterly useless to my needs. Anyone have any suggestions as to a different product I can use, that works!
