Adding Text

Master slides provide placeholder text (which you replace with your text) for slide

titles and body text. Choose a master slide with the combination of title text and body

text that best suits the slide’s content.

Title text is larger than body text. Most body text is bulleted (preceded by a “dot” or

other ornament), but you can change from bulleted to non-bulleted text. To learn

more about text formatting, see See “Using the Text Inspector” on page 46.

If the slide you’re working on doesn’t have title text or body text, you can either

choose a different master or select the Title or Body checkboxes in the Appearance

pane of the Slide Inspector.

To add title text to a slide:

m

Double-click in a title text box on the slide canvas and type your text.

To add text:

m

Click in a body text box on the slide canvas and begin typing.

 To move to the next line, press Return.

 To indent a line, press Tab.

 To move a bulleted line to a higher indent level, press Shift-Tab.

For information about creating text boxes, see “Adding Text Boxes” on page 45.
