Entering Text

Entering a title or other text is easy in PowerPoint. Simply click in the appropriate text box and type your text. The text will take on the formatting that has been applied to the design template.

Tip - Even though you may not have chosen a colorful design template and are using the plain, white slides to start making your presentation, you are still working on a design template. This plain, white slide is the default design template and does contain certain formatting such as font style and size.
