Add Text Captions to Your PowerPoint Presentation

Add text to the top of pictures when possible so that people at the back of the room can see them.

 

1.  Open your powerpoint presentation if it isn't already open.

 

2.  To add a plain text box, click Insert --> Text Box. 

 

3.  Change the font, size, color, etc. at the top of the screen.

 

4.  To add fancy text, click Insert --> Word Art.  Make sure it's easy to read . . .

 

Add text captions (plain or fancy) to the top of every image, then save your presentation.
