Insertng and editing text in powerpoint
1. PowerPoint theme tutorial.
This tutorial explains to you to inserting and editing text in PowerPoint
how to use our PowerPoint themes for best productivity and
presentation.
2. The most common way to add text to a slide is to type it directly into any
placeholder on the slide. However, if you are using a blank slide (without
placeholders) or if you want to enter text outside placeholders, you can use
a text box.
Inserting Text
Adding text to a placeholder
As soon as you select a slide layout the new slide appears with dummy text
(such as "Click to add title") in the placeholders. When you click inside a
placeholder, the dummy text disappears, the cursor becomes a blinking
line ( | ) and you can start typing.
3. Adding text to a text box
To add text anywhere on a slide (outside placeholders), click on the Insert
menu â > Text Box, or on the text box icon on the drawing toolbar.
Click and hold down the left mouse button while you drag the mouse. When l
the box is the size you want it, release the mouse button Click inside the text
box and start typing.
4. Note: if you click outside the text box before typing in it, the box disappears.
However, it is still there, but invisible. As this may cause problems later, we
suggest that if you 'lose' your text box, undo the box (Click on the Edit menu,
then Undo) and start over.
Resizing a text box
You can reposition the text box anywhere in the slide by moving the mouse
pointer over the gray border until it becomes a four-way arrow (a hand in
Macintosh), and then clicking and holding down the mouse button while
dragging the box to the desired location.
In order to resize the text box proportionally you need to select the box first by
click on the four-way arrow (you know that the text box is selected when you
see the gray border around it). Then position the pointer over one of the four
square "handles" on the text box's corners until the pointer becomes a
diagonal, two-directional arrow Then click and drag the border to resize
the box.
5. You can also change just the height or the width of the text box by
selecting it and positioning the pointer over the handles on the sides until
the pointer becomes a vertical or horizontal two-directional arrow .
Then click and drag the border to change the height or width of the text
box.
The same technique is used for resizing images. Note: using the side
handles to resize an image will distort the image, so use with
caution. To preserve the proportions of the image drag the corners
of the image as discribed above.
Formatting a text box
If the text box is not already selected, select it by moving the cursor over it
until the cursor becomes a four-way arrow and clicking on it until you see
the text box border highlighted.
6. Right-click on the text box and select Format Text Box or select Format menu
> Text Box. On the Format Text Box dialog you can use the tabs on the top to
make your selections.
On the Colors and Lines tab you can select a fill color (if you choose a dark
fill color it is a good idea to check the Semitransparentbox to make your text
more visible) and a line color and style for the text box border.
On the Text Box tab you can choose a particular vertical alignment for the
text, word wrap, automatic resizing or rotation of the text.
For example, the following selections
