Adding and formatting text

Text in slides is contained in

text boxes

There are two ways to add text boxes to a slide:

• Choose a predefined layout from the

Layouts

section of the Tasks

pane. These text boxes are called AutoLayout text boxes.

• Create a text box using the text tool.

Using text boxes created from the Layout pane

In Normal view:

1) Click in the text box that reads Click to add text, Click to add

an outline, or a similar notation.

2) Type or paste your text in the text box.

Using text boxes created from the text box tool

In Normal View:

1) Click on the Text icon on the Drawing toolbar. If the toolbar

with the text icon is not visible, choose View > Toolbars >

Drawing.

2) Click and drag to draw a box for the text on the slide. Do not

worry about the vertical size and position—the text box will

expand if needed as you type.

3) Release the mouse button when finished. The cursor appears in

the text box, which is now in edit mode (gray hashed border with

green resizing handles shown in Figure 145).

4) Type or paste your text in the text box.

5) Click outside the text box to deselect it.
