Hello,
I am having trouble figuring out how to center a Google slide in Canvas. I have a slide at the top of the page and it's aligns left. Then I have some things I made IN Canvas and they are centered. Then one more slide at the bottom that aligns left.
See pictures below for reference! Please help before I go bananas!
You can do this in one of two ways. One method is to take advantage of using tables and the second is to edit the HTML slightly.
Abuse a Table
Tables have their own centering rules. You can insert a 1x1 table and then embed your slides there. Select the slides and click center align in the editor tools. The slides will center inside the table, which is the full width of the page. You can also select the table, then use the table menu to get to Table Properties to remove the default border.
2. Edit the HTML
You can make a quick HTML change that doesn't involve a table. Embed the slides like normal and then click on HTML Editor in the top right. Find the part that starts with <iframe style="...". We're going to define the style to display centered.
Copy and paste this inside the quotes for the style:
display: block; margin: 0 auto
So, your text should look something like this:
<iframe style="display:block; margin:0 auto; width: 750px; height: 750px;" title="Meet Title Slide" src="..." allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" allow="geolocation *; microphone *; camera *; midi *; encrypted-media *; autoplay *"></iframe>
Either method will work. Personally, I change the HTML rather than have tables all over the place in my Pages, but it's whatever you're most comfortable with.
