    <p>So, I have a shape I'm programatically generating, when it has a small amount of text, it looks like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0794k.png" alt="Style is correct, vertically aligned to top"></p> <p>If I add a huge amount of text however, it flows out of the shape, like so:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5r6t4.png" alt="Vertical alignment starts outside of boundaries"></p> <p>What I want to do is to hide the overflow and to force the text to start from the top of the shape (currently the text starts from a position higher than the top of the shape)</p> <p>I haven't found much information about this so far, here is the code I'm using for the text inside the shape:</p> <pre><code>var shape = slide.Shapes.AddShape(MsoAutoShapeType.msoShapeRectangle, left, top, width, height); var textRange2 = shape.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertAfter(description); textRange2.Font.Size = 10; shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraphs().ParagraphFormat.Alignment = PpParagraphAlignment.ppAlignLeft; shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraphs().Font.Name = "Consolas"; shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraphs().Font.Color.RGB = foregroundColor; </code></pre> <p>One last thing, I know I could just limit the string, but this would impose problems for the user. I want him to be able to resize the shape manually if there is too much text, so that's a no-go. Basically, I just want the equivalent of the css overflow:hidden rule.</p> <p>One option for some users may be to use the following:</p> <pre><code>shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = PpAutoSize.ppAutoSizeShapeToFitText; </code></pre> <p>This will resize the shape to fit the text, there should also be an option to resize TEXT to fit the shape instead (resizing of fonts), I can't seem to find the function however.</p> <p>Thanks guys</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
