Insert a New Text Box

If your slide does not have a text box already, you can quickly add one using the Text Box button. This button is found on the Insert ribbon.

Click the Text Box button and then drag the mouse on the slide to create a text box in the location and width of your choice. The text box will expand lengthwise as you type to accommodate your text. Use the selection handles to widen the text box further if necessary.
