Working
with Slides
AutoLayouts
In many
of the AutoLayouts available in PowerPoint, you have the ability
to enter text. Each slide contains placeholders that allow
you to enter text in that location when you click on them.
Here is an example of the placeholders in the Title Page AutoLayout.
When you
click, the text showing disappears, and you can type in any
text you like. If you wish to switch from the Title placeholder
to the Subtitle placeholder, you can either click on the Subtitle
placeholder or hit [CTRL] + [ENTER] on your keyboard.
Once
you are done, it is recommended that you click outside of
the slide area. This will deselect any objects inside the
slide, preventing you from accidentally deleting them.
If you
discover that a different AutoLayout may be more effective,
you can make the change by clicking on the "Slide Layout"
button on the Common Tasks toolbar.
One of
the new features of PowerPoint 2000 allows you to enter text
into a placeholder and have it automatically adjusted to fit
within the placeholder. <Click
