Question

How do you add text to a slide in MS PowerPoint?

A.

Use the Transi ons tab

B.

Click inside a text placeholder and start typing

C.

Press Ctrl + T

D.

Drag an image onto the slide

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Click inside a text placeholder and start typing

Explanation:

  • To add text to a slide in MS PowerPoint, simply click inside a text placeholder (the box that says "Click to add text") and start typing.
  • Text placeholders are pre-set areas where you can input text in various slide layouts.
  • PowerPoint allows you to add titles, bullet points, or body text by typing directly in these placeholders.
  • Text formatting, such as font size, color, and alignment, can be customized after adding the text.

Information Booster:

  • Text placeholders can be found in many slide layouts, including Title Slide, Content Slide, and Two Content layouts.
  • You can also use the Text Box tool from the Insert tab to add text anywhere on the slide.

Additional Knowledge:
(a) Use the Transitions tab: The Transitions tab is used for slide transition effects, not adding text.
(c) Press Ctrl + T: This shortcut is not used for adding text to a slide in PowerPoint.
(d) Drag an image onto the slide: This action is used to insert an image, not text.
