Adding Text
In PowerPoint, you need to add text in a text placeholder, title placeholder, or text box. Figure 3.1 illustrates an example of a text placeholder.
){kind=link}
Figure 3.1 A text placeholder is a tool PowerPoint uses for entering text.
If you use the AutoContent Wizard or add a slide that includes a text or title placeholder, you can immediately start creating text.
If you want to add your own text box to a blank slide, choose Insert, Text Box. You can then draw a text box on the slide using the mouse. As you add text, the box expands. Figure 3.2 shows a text box.
){kind=link}
TIP
You can also add
a text box by clicking the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar.
NOTE
Your text doesn't fit in the text box? See "Making the Text Fit" in the "Troubleshooting" section near the end of this chapter.
Figure 3.2 A text box is another tool that PowerPoint uses to enter text.
