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.

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
