How can I add a line of text in PowerPoint?

Adding a line of text in PowerPoint is a straightforward process. First, open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add the text. Follow these steps:

  1. Select the ‘Home’ tab in the top left corner of the PowerPoint window.
  2. Click on the ‘Text Box’ button in the ‘Text’ group.
  3. Click anywhere on the slide to position the cursor where you want the text to appear.
  4. Type your desired text into the text box.

You can also adjust the text box’s size, position, and orientation after typing your text. If you want to change the text’s appearance, you can use the options in the ‘Font’ and ‘Paragraph’ groups on the ‘Home’ tab.

Remember, good design principles still apply even when adding text to a presentation. Make sure your text is legible by choosing a contrasting color to the slide’s background, and keep font size large enough to be easily read by the audience. Choose a clear, professional font that matches your presentation’s overall style and tone.
