Creating new Text Captions

The Text Caption you just worked with was created by adding text in a placeholder from the Master Slide. You will now create and modify a brand new Text Caption:

  1.  Still on slide 2, click the Text icon on the toolbar and select the Text Caption item.
  2. Type Click Continue when done. into the new Text Caption.
  3. Hit the Esc key to leave text-editing mode. The new Text Caption should still be selected.

When adding a new Text Caption, note the following:

  • By default, the new Text Caption is inserted in the middle of the slide. In fact, this is the case every time you add any new object on a slide, regardless of it being a Text Caption or anything else.
  • By default, the Text Caption is in text editing mode, allowing you to type in text right after inserting the object.
