text scaling

How do I stope Keynote scaling my text to the size of the text box? :) Before there was this checkbox in 'lay-out' but it's gone since the newest update. Who can help me out?

There are two types of text box in Keynote; preset and custom


1 - a preset text box has the shrink text to fit option available, they are used in the built in Themes and by selecting the Title and Body options in:  Inspector > Format > Slide Layout



2 - a custom text box does not have the shrink text to fit option, they are created by inserting a text box using either;   

Insert > Text Box or click the text button on the tool bar


If you do not want to use shrink text to fit with text boxes, either deselect each text box used, add a custom text box to the slide, or create or amend an existing master slide using custom text boxes.
