Add text and text captions
Add a text caption
If you change the settings in the Properties Inspector for text captions, they become the default settings. Any text
captions that you create use the new settings.
If you add a transparent text caption, avoid using bold text; regular text appears clearer than bold text on most
monitors.
1 In an open project, select the slide to which you want to add a text caption.
2 Select Insert > Standard Objects > Text Caption. You can also right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in
the slide, choose Insert > Standard Objects from the pop-up menu, and then choose Text Caption.
3 Set the various options for the text caption.
4 Use the Settings menu to select how to apply property changes in the project. To apply all your changes, select Apply
Only Changed Properties. To apply all the text caption settings, select Apply All Properties. You can apply the text
caption settings to the current slide only or to all slides. And you can choose to apply the text caption settings to all
captions or only the text captions of the same type as the current one.
5 Select Apply To All to apply settings specified in the Settings menu to all slides.
Add plain text to a slide
To add text to the slide without making it appear as a text caption, add the text as a transparent text caption.
Note: If you create a transparent caption, avoid underlining text because doing so can decrease text quality when the
project is viewed.
After adding the transparent text caption, you may want to merge the caption with the slide background.
1 In an open project, select the slide to which you want to add a transparent text caption.
2 Select Insert > Standard Objects > Text Caption.
3 In the General area of the Property Inspector, select transparent as the Caption Type.
4 Change other options as required.
To add superscript to a slide, select the text, and
• (On Windows) Press Control +shift + “+”. To add a subscript, select the text, and press Control + “+”.
• (On Mac OS) Press Cmd + shift + "+". To add a subscript, select the text, and press Cmd + "+".
Insert text as a variable
1 Move the cursor to the position in the text where you want to insert the variable.
2 In the Format area of Properties Inspector, click the Insert Variable icon .
