For example, you can have a written document in Microsoft Word and you want to put this information in PowerPoint. Sometimes it's easier to write in Word, especially when writing long presentations.
To copy the text into Word, just high-light the text with your mouse. Then go to the menu bar and click [Edit - Copy]. This will copy the text in a high-lighted virtual clipboard residing on your computer. You can then paste the text from the clipboard in any program on your computer.

The pre-installed PowerPoint templates are already pre-configured with a font color and style. However, these default fonts are not always perfect and often have to be changed. This is especially true title slides.
Here's a real world example of how to change my source genuinely hot properties of this presentation: This is a title slide of the template. O.K. seems, but not quite what I like.



To improve this slide, I changed some properties. I did the first title of largest source, and the sub-title of the smaller font. Then change the font on an "impact" and the subtitle "Arial Narrow". Finally, the text was moved to the location of the word-aligned edges better.


This new title is much better, and all you need is the basic source property changes!

You can format text in PowerPoint as in a word processing program. In fact, it works like Microsoft Word PowerPoint. And, as in Word, you can change the properties of the light source for high text and click the buttons on the toolbar.
If your toolbar is the source of the options, simply go to the menu bar and click [View - Toolbars] and put a mark next to "format".For more source options, go to the menu bar and click [Format - Source]. One source of options box appears, where you can change the properties of the source as font, size, color and style properties (bold italics).



The source property box has a couple of new "effects" you can try ... add a shadow or highlight the text. The shadows are particularly useful because it highlights the text of the fund and the contrast makes the text more readable.
