# Common Issues
## Common Issues
#### 1. Layout Not Found
```python
# Problem: Slide layout index out of range
# Solution: Check available layouts
prs = Presentation()
for i, layout in enumerate(prs.slide_layouts):
print(f"{i}: {layout.name}")
# Common layouts:
# 0: Title Slide
# 1: Title and Content
# 5: Title Only
# 6: Blank
```
#### 2. Text Overflow
```python
# Problem: Text doesn't fit in shape
# Solution: Adjust font size or enable auto-fit
tf = shape.text_frame
tf.auto_size = True # Enable auto-sizing
# Or manually adjust
tf.paragraphs[0].font.size = Pt(10)
```
#### 3. Chart Not Displaying
```python
# Problem: Chart appears empty
# Solution: Verify data structure
# DO: Ensure categories and series match
chart_data = CategoryChartData()
chart_data.categories = ['A', 'B', 'C'] # Must have values
chart_data.add_series('Series 1', (1, 2, 3)) # Same length
```
