Key Takeaways

Step-by-Step Guide

To make the most of the text editing features in Google Slides, please follow the steps below. You will find that the adjustments are easy and intuitive, making your presentations look more professional.

Create and modify texts

Start by creating or editing a slide where you want to add text. Simply click on a text box and start writing. For example, you could start with the first slide by inserting the title "Example."

Change font color

To enhance the appearance of your text, you can change the font color. Simply click on the A icon representing the font color and choose a color. For example, you could change the default brown color to red to create more contrast.

Note that the color change does not automatically affect other slides. If you enter new text on another slide, it will again be displayed in the original brown color.

Customize fonts

Check the current font being used in your text. In the example, the font "Calibri" is being used. However, you have the option to change the font according to your preference. For instance, choose "Pacifico" or "Georgia" to give your text a new look.

Vary font formats

Customizing font formats is very important. With some fonts, you can choose from different styles such as "thin," "normal," or "bold." These options give you the flexibility to vary your texts so they align optimally with the message of your presentation.

Use custom font colors

If you are not satisfied with the standard colors, you can also use custom colors. Click on "Custom" and enter a specific color code or select a color using the color tool. You can adjust the colors by changing the hue and saturation.

Adjust font size

Another important aspect is adjusting the font size. Highlight the desired text and use the plus and minus signs to increase or decrease the size. You can also manually enter a number to set the font size directly to a specific value – however, the maximum standard size is limited to 96.
