This chapter describes the different ways to add text to slides and format the text.

Text in slides is contained in text boxes.

• Create a text box using the text tool.

This chapter describes how to create, modify, use, and delete text boxes; discusses the various types of text that can be inserted; and explains how to format the text, how to insert a numbered or bulleted list. and finally how and when to use fields.
