Let's talk about tape now.
Most experts tell you the less tape on a slide, the better communicating.
Visually, most people respond to that.
But of course, it's almost impossible to do a presentation with no tape.
So let me show you how to add tape to your slides.
So if you're using the themes and layouts that exist, usually adding tape is simply a matter of.
Clicking.
And adding type were indicated.
If you want to add type in another location, you're going to have to show Google Slides exactly where
you want the tape.
That means adding a text box first.
You can see the text box tool up here in our toolbar with the text box tool selected.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to drag a rectangle in the general location where I want the text.
A cursor will appear.
And then I can type the text that I want to appear, I'm going to type my name.
Once I've typed the text, I can adjust the sizing of the text box to accommodate the text I've just
typed and I can move the box anywhere I'd like on the slide as I move it.
Notice these red guidelines that are appearing.
These are showing me when the text is exactly centered on the slide and when it's positioned, for example,
one third from the bottom.
When I release that text is placed exactly where I'd want it to be placed.
I can move existing text boxes to simply by clicking on them and dragging them to the location that
I want.
With a text box selected.
If I choose the format options button from the toolbar, I'll get specific format options for that text
box that will cover in a little bit.
All right, so that's the basics of adding text to a slide.
