Introduction

This chapter describes how to add text to slides and format the text. Text in slides is contained in text boxes.

There are two ways to add text boxes to a slide:

• Choose a predefined layout from the Layouts panel of the Properties deck of the Sidebar, containing text elements as described in Chapter 1. These text boxes are called AutoLayout text boxes.
• Create a text box using the text tool in the Drawing toolbar.

This chapter describes how to create, modify, use, and delete text boxes. It also discusses the various types of text that can be inserted and explains how to format the text. Finally, it provides information on how to insert special forms of text, such as numbered or bulleted lists, tables, fields, and hyperlinks.
