Text Box

Slide 8
For Slide 8 we’ll be using a Blank Template

The last “tool” we’ll work with is the Text Box. The Text Box is also located in the Drawing toolbar (at the bottom of your screen). The Text Box button will allow you to insert text in your slides if the template you chose does not have the desired Title and Bullet boxes. To insert text, click-on the Text Box button. It has an “A” in the upper left corner of the button with some text below (it looks like the button above on the right). After you click-on the Text Box button, move the cursor into an “open” area of Slide 8. It will look like a “little sword.”. When you get to an appropriate place, click the left mouse button and a “text entry area” will appear (it looks like the image on the right).
Don’t worry about its size. Just type the following: THE END. The text box will automatically resize to the text entered. Go ahead and highlight this text, and by clicking-on Format in the Menu Bar and Font. Edit this text – make it larger, change the font, maybe add Shadow, and pick a color that you like.

Our Slide 8 looks like the image on the right.
