Thanks for the comment. It pointed me in the right direction. It seems that the autofit property can't be set on an individual basis for placeholders, slides or even presentations. You have to go into Tools, Auto-Correct options, and select the AutoFormat As You Type tab. There are two checkboxes for autofit, but selecting/deselecting these affects all presentations; it is an application-wide setting. They can't be set directly from VBA, they are registry settings. Of course, you can edit the registry from VBA, but that opens up a whole can of worms.

PPT's autofit text setting is kicking in because the text is longer than what will fit in the textbox, even if it's just longer by a little and will still fit on the slide. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder, so I can't tell you how to turn that off. Maybe it will give you a start in the right direction, though.
