Powerpoint: insert text field - how it works

Even a PowerPoint presentation usually doesn't get along entirely without text. This practical tip shows you how to quickly insert a text field on a slide.

In four steps to the text field in PowerPoint

1. To add a text field to a slide, first click on the "Insert" tab.
2. In the ribbon, go to the "Text" area. There you choose the icon "Textfeld".
3. As soon as you move the mouse over the slide, a vertical arrow appears there. You place the mouse where you want the text box to be and then click on it.
4. You will then see the text field, which you can add content as you wish.
