Working with Text

After you have chosen what type of slide you want you can begin to enter text. This example uses a Design Template. Two text boxes are already on the slide. In order to add your own text just click on the box that the text you want to replace is in. You will see a parallel line border around the box. Highlight the text that is in the box and replace it with your own.

If you want to delete a box that is already on the page click on it once to get the parallel border and then click on the border to get a crosshatched border. When the border is crosshatched just press the delete button or choose EDIT-DELETE from the menu bar and the box will disappear.
