Introduction
This chapter describes the different ways to add text to slides and
format the 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, containing text elements as described in Chapter 1. These
text boxes are called AutoLayout text boxes.
• Create a text box using the text tool in the Drawing toolbar.
This chapter describes how to create, modify, use, and delete text
boxes; discusses the various types of text that can be inserted; and
explains how to format the text. It also provides information on how to
insert a numbered or bulleted list and a table, and how and when to
use fields and hyperlinks.
Working with text boxes
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.
These text boxes are known as AutoLayout text boxes. See also
“Creating bulleted and numbered lists” on page 69.
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—the text box will expand if needed
as you type. To reposition the text box to a different part of the
slide, see “Moving a text box” on page 54; to change the
horizontal size, see “Resizing a text box” on page 55.
