Users can add text to a slide in a well-defined way in PowerPoint, ensuring that the content is well dispersed and easy to read. The process for adding text to a PowerPoint slide is the same every time: simply click in the text box and begin typing. The text will be formatted according to the text box's default formatting, which can be altered later if necessary. The many types of content boxes that support text in a PowerPoint slide alter.

Some of the most typical content blocks you'll find in PowerPoint are listed below.

Title Box

This is most commonly seen on slides with the title layout and in all slides with a title box. This box is denoted by the symbol "Click to add text”.

Subtitle Box

Only slides with the Title layout have this. "Click to add subtitle" indicates this.

Content Box

This may be found in almost every presentation that has a content placeholder. "Click to add text" indicates this. As you can see, you can use this box to add both text and non-text content. To add text to one of these boxes, click anywhere on it except one of the content symbols in the centre and begin typing.

Text Only Box

Although this is not a default content box in PowerPoint, you can make it with Slide Master if necessary. "Click to add text" also indicates this. The sole difference between the Text Only Box and the Content Box is that the former only allows text to be shown in the content section.
