Adding Text

In PowerPoint,you add text in a text placeholder or in a text box. Figure 3.1 illustrates an example of a text placeholder.

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 (p. 31) from the New Slide dialog box, you can immediately start creating text.

If you want to add your own text box (p. 286) to a blank slide, choose Insert, Text Box and draw a text box on the slide using the mouse. As you add text, the box expands. Figure 3.2 displays a text box.

Figure 3.2. A text box is another tool that PowerPoint uses to enter text.


Tip

You can also add create a text box by clicking the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar.


What should you do if your text doesn't fit in the text box? See the Troubleshooting section at the end of the chapter.
