PowerPoint 2000/XP - Presentations
Text Boxes
If you have chosen blank you will need to insert a text box as PowerPoint 2000/XP does not allow you to type on the page directly. You can click on the text box button at the bottom of your screen. It is on the Drawing toolbar. It loads automatically with PowerPoint 2000/XP. If you do not have the Drawing Toolbar showing insert it now. Click on View/Toolbars/Drawing 
on the main toolbar. Alternatively, click on Insert/Text box.
The text box button is the black and white button with 'A' on it surrounded by lines.
Place your cursor under each of the tools on the Drawing toolbar to get the screen tip which shows what each button does. If your screen tips do not show up, ensure you have them ticked in the Options dialogue box which can be found in the Tools menu.
Word Art
Find the Word Art button, click on it now, (on the drawing toolbar).The blue slanted A is the Word Art button. You will find a nice variety of Word Art that may be suitable for your Title Page. If you like the look of one, click on it and you will be taken to a dialogue box where you need to type
in your title. Click on OK and Word Art is inserted onto your presentation.
