Entering text into text boxes If PowerPoint is not already running, start it. This style of slide would be appropriate for presenting a series of points as an outline in text, with a title at the top of the slide. Click in the Title text box. A cursor will appear allowing you to type text in the box. Type a little more.
Press return again to create a new item.
Now press tab. Note that the item is indented below the preceeding item. Type a little and press return again. Note that the new item is indented at the same level as the item above it. This saves a good bit of time in setting up presentations because it's generally what you want.
