Figure 7-6. Add a caption with the New Text Caption window.
3.
Type the text you want to display in the text caption.
Tip:
Although the amount of caption text is unlimited, remember
that it will be sitting on top of your slide background (which is often
already very busy) and the more text you include, the smaller it will
have to be to fit on the screen. The best captions are succinct and to
the point. Use short, declarative phrases (“This is the main menu”) or
briefcommands(“Clickheretogotothenextpage”).
4.
If necessary, change the look of the caption by editing the follow-
ing properties:
