MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2005Add text during presentation
Is there a way to add text to a slide while in the presentation? One of my slides asks the audience the question, "What kinds of things are important for a good phone presence?" I would then like to add the audience's comments to the slide...but without having to exit the presnetation. One way to do this can be found at my Web site at Example 6.7: http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/ Just click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 6" to find it. This requires VBA. You might be able to get away with a just putting a text box from the Control Toolbox up. This could allow you type text onto the slide. --David David Marcovitz Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Education_ http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/ > Is there a way to add text to a slide while in the presentation?

I downloaded some macro that allows me to include a note box that I can type in during the presentation. (ack, I dont remember the exact post). Thanks! > One way to do this can be found at my Web site at Example 6.7: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > for a good phone presence?"

Hi, As David ahs pointed out, you can add a text box from the Control Toolbox. Right click on a toolbar, select the Visual Basic toolbar, the Control Toolbox button, then a text box. Draw it on the screen, right click on it, Properties, and look for "MultiLine". Set that to true. That will allow you to hit the enter key for a new line of text. You now have a text box you can write in during a slideshow, and you don't have to muck with code.

Another option if you don't have anything in the Notes pages is to right-click your slide while in Slide Show Mode and click "Speaker Notes". Requires no code and is unique to that slide. It can also be saved with your presentation when done.

So far, we have three unique and useful ways to add text during a presentation. It seems like it would make a good FAQ page. --David SignatureDavid M.
