You add text into a PowerPoint slide by clicking once inside any of the text boxes on your screen, and typing.
To change the format of the text:
1. First select all the text in a field you want to change by clicking and dragging over the text.

2. Go up and click once on the format menu at the top of the screen. Next go down and click once on Font.
From this window we can change several features of our text..

4. We can change the font of our text. Controlling what type style our text will look like.

5. We can change the style of our text. Making it bold, which is to make it darker, making it italic.

6. We can change the Font Size. The large the number the bigger the text becomes. It is important to note that if you are going to be showing your PowerPoint show to a group then a font size no less than 20 is recommended.

7.From the center section we can change our text color. Clicking on the pull down menu will allow you to choose a recently used color, or we can click on more colors to see even more choices of color. I simply need to click once on the color of my choice.

8. In the lower section of the Font Menu by clicking once in the box beside our choice we can choose to have our text super script, sub script, shadow, or outlined, just to name a few.

Again to activate any of these choices simply click once in the box beside of the selection. You can have more than one choice. If you make a choice you do not like simply click once on the check and it will disappear.
Click OK, and your choices will take effect.
