Enter text

To enter text in a placeholder, shape, or image, do one of the following:

Select the object with a single click and start typing the desired text. If the object already contains text, the new text is entered after the existing text by default.

Select the object by double-clicking and place the cursor where you want to add the text. Enter the required text.

To enter text into a table cell, switch to the table editing mode.

If necessary, format the entered text.

To exit object editing mode, click anywhere outside of the object on the slide or press Esc.

Automatically replace a hyphen with an en dash

When typing text, a hyphen sign is usually used in those places where the rules of the English language require a dash, the dash sign being absent on the keyboard. Therefore, the application automatically replaces the hyphen (-) with an en dash (–) if you consecutively enter text_Space_hyphen_Space_text_Space/Enter/Tab in the document.

If you need to cancel this change, run the Undo command.

Automatically replace quotation marks

If the text is entered in Russian or French, straight quotation marks ("") are automatically replaced with chevrons («»).

To cancel the automatic replacement of the left or right quotations mark, run the Undo command after you enter it.
