Section 3 - Adding Text

The crucial aspect to making your presentation a success is the use of text. Animation and colored text will not impress your audience if it is poorly written and placed in your presentation. PowerPoint presentations are meant to display main points. You should not place paragraphs of text on slides. As you are presenting you can always supplement with details.

To add text click inside of a placeholder and type the desired text. To edit text, highlight the text to be changed and start typing your new text. Click outside of the slide to deselect elements of a slide.
