    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.
