- A text box is a placeholder identical to…that ones that we've been typing into all this time.…You can add your own text boxes, resize them,…change the font, and manipulate them any way you like.…Let's put some text boxes on to these slides.…From the home ribbon tab click text box.…From here, click anywhere in your slide.…Now you can simply start typing.…Once you've got your text in place…you can click anywhere away from it…and your text will remain.…
There's a few things you can do with text boxes.…It's completely transparent so I can slide…it anywhere I want on my slide.…I'm going to move it back up here…so that we can see it a little more clearly.…I can also highlight the text by clicking and dragging…and now I can manipulate it any way I want.…For example, I can change the font, the color even.…I can click on the shape format ribbon tab…and from here I can work with word art,…like we did in the last chapter, or even add…my own text effects to it.…
I'll leave it how it is however…because I want to move it around…
