Text boxes or other graphic objects can be deleted using the mouse and the keyboard.

Steps to delete a text box

  1. Click on the border of the text box. If you click in the text box itself, PowerPoint assumes that you wish to add or edit text. In order to delete the whole text box, you must click on the border of the text box.
  2. Press the Delete key on the keyboard.
