- Now that we know the ways to…add text to slides in PowerPoint,…let's take a quick look at how to…format the text.…I'm still working with the slides I created earlier…but any text on the page will do…if you want to work along with me.…Fortunately, changing the font of text…in PowerPoint is not much different…than changing fonts in any other applications…where you work with text.…First you just select the text you want to change.…And up here in the Home tab,…you'll find your text formatting tools.…You can see the currently selected text…is in the Calibri front.…I can click that menu and select a different one.…And also change the size to make…the text a little larger.…Now at that size, the words look…a little too crowded for my taste.…
So I'll come up here to the lines spacing button…and I'll set this to 1.5 spaces.…So you have the usual selection of text tools…that you'll find in most word processors…and if you're familiar with Microsoft Word,…you'll most likely recognize these tools.…Like the paragraph alignment buttons…
