Powerpoint - text on a slide.

Page Layout - 2 content.
Is there a way of making the text from the first box stop and continue typing automatically at the top of the 2nd box without having to manually move the text?

RE: Powerpoint - text on a slide.

Hi Kelly


Thank you for your question.

The closest thing possible to ensure the text flow wraps into the second text box is to create columns as opposed to text boxes.

- Create a new slide with Title & Content
- Place your cursor in the Content text box
- Ont he Home tab - Paragraph group, click the Columns tool
- Select number of columns, i.e. two

There are no clearly defined borders, however the text flow will now automaticlly wrap to the second column as it reaches the end of the first column.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.
