One of the main functions of Power Point is the creation and presentation of slides, and for that, it is essential to know how to insert and format texts in your presentations.

Inserting texts

To insert text on a slide, just click on the predefined text box or click on the "Insert" option in the toolbar and select "Text box". Then just type in the text you want.

You can also insert text into an object, such as an image or graphic. To do so, select the object and click on the "Insert text" option on the toolbar.

Formatting texts

To format text on a slide, select the text and use the formatting options on the toolbar. You can change the font, size, color, style and alignment of the text.

In addition, you can add text effects such as shadows, reflections, and outlines. You can also add bullets and numbering to text lists.

Another interesting option is the use of predefined text styles. Power Point offers several text styles, which can be applied with a single click.

To format text in an object, select the object and use the formatting options on the toolbar. You can change the color and style of the text, as well as the position and size of the object.

Finally, it's important to remember that text formatting should be coherent and consistent throughout your presentation. Use a text style that is easy to read and that matches the theme of the presentation.
