Adding and formatting text is fairly straightforward in PowerPoint. What's usually more difficult is choosing the right fonts, colors, and effects for your presentation. PowerPoint offers sophisticated text formatting and customization, and it also automates most formatting and customization if you're in a hurry or have limited design skills. When you're done adding text to your presentation, you can verify that its spelling and style are error free with PowerPoint's spelling checker. You can also use the thesaurus to find synonyms to make your text a little livelier.
