- [Instructor] Most PowerPoint presentations
have some amount of text, so let's take a look
at how to create and edit text in PowerPoint.
I've got a number of slides here,
but let's go ahead and add one more
at the end of the presentation.
I'm going to click down here at the bottom,
and then let's just do New Slide.
I'm going to use the pull-down.
Let's select Two Content.
This gives you a total of three text boxes.
We have a title, as well as two additional boxes.
I'm going to go ahead and give this a title.
I'm just going to call this Project Updates.
I don't have to hit Return.
If I do, then that will change the spacing
within that text box.
All I have to do is click off of it
and that text will be centered to the box.
These bottom two boxes have what are called bulleted lists.
If I were to, say, type into this box here,
I could, for example, just type A, B, C,
and each one of those will have a bullet.
I can change the look of this list
by going into the Home menu.
Here, you'll see we have a number of different options
for these types of bullets.
Notice how this is only changing for the last one.
That's because my cursor is there.
If I select the entire box,
then it will change for all of them.
I can change it from a bulleted list
to a numbered list if I want.
Again, I have a number of different formats
for this type of list.
In addition to this, we can change things such as alignment.
I can center it. I can right or left-align it.
I can also change things such as text direction.
I can rotate that text.
I can also align the text to the top,
middle, or bottom of the slide as well.
For this particular project though,
I don't want bulleted lists.
I'm going to go ahead and Shift-select both of these
and we're going to convert them at once.
You can do global edits to multiple text boxes
simply by selecting them.
I'm going to go ahead and go to this pull-down menu
and we're going to select None for bulleted list.
Then I'm going to go ahead and just type in
the text that I really want.
Let's go into this first box.
I'm just going to go ahead and select this, hit Return,
and then type my text.
I can also add some text for here.
Now that I have the text in, I can edit it as I want.
For example, if I wanted to,
I could select this text, change the font,
or do something such as bold it.
For example, these product names,
it might be nice to have them bolded.
That way, they will stand out.
You can certainly edit text to whatever font
or color you want, but as you can see,
it's very easy to create and edit text in PowerPoint.
