Add, edit and format text
Text is the quickest way to get a message on screen. Add it, style it, then keep it big enough to read from across the room.
- Select Text in the left-hand tools, then Create header, Create sub header or Create body text. You can also start from one of the text-style tiles.
- Double-click the text on the page, select the words you want to replace and type your own message. Click outside the text box when you're done.
- With the text selected, set its colour, font and Font size in the top bar. Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikethrough are there too.
- Use Text align for alignment inside the box, List for bullet formatting, Spacing for line height and letter spacing, and Uppercase to change the casing.
Text effects
Effects includes Blur, Curved text, Text Stroke, Background and Shadow. Open Effects, switch on the one you want, then adjust the controls it reveals. Effects change how text looks; motion and timed reveals live under Animate.
If text wraps badly: widen the text box or reduce the font size. If a control seems to be missing, check the toolbar's More menu — it also has Fit text box width to text. Keep important copy large enough to read from a distance.
