Add your own text boxes

Add your own text boxes

- [Instructor] Google Slides becomes incredibly powerful when you start making your own text boxes where you want them. You can also work with and resize existing text boxes that were made by layouts. I now know that I have to add one more project update to this slide, but these text boxes have a lot of unused space in them. I can fix this by either clicking on these square points and dragging with my mouse, or I can click inside the text, click on the two horizontal lines that appear, and select Resize shape to fit text. I'll do that with this one also, and now these are a little bit tighter. I now have room to make a new text box by clicking the icon with the two Ts on it. I'll click once inside my slide. The text box appears, and now I can type my text. (keyboard clicking) These colors don't quite match, and this font is a little bit larger. I don't have to click and drag to select all the text to change it. All I have to do is make sure that I have this entire text box selected…
