tell presenter notes of s
set font to "Open Sans"
set size to 17
set color of it to "black"
end tell
end repeat

Thanks for this. It worked beautifully! What verbiage works in the script to change the AFTER and BEFORE PARAGRAPH spacing?

Great! I modified this to change text boxes size and font and color
But how do I apply text outline and shadows?
I also want to align center all text boxes vertically and horizontally

Thanks!
