How do you insert text

[Powerpoint User]

I would like to type a single word on a slide center it and do the same on
the next one for vocabulary study. Online help is very useful if you want to
create a presentation, but I have not found information on how to complete
this simple task.

You could start typing in the text placeholder that appears when you open
powerpoint.

Or you could use the text box tool that appears in the Draw tool bar found
at the bottom of your workspace. It a black & white icon with a small A and
gray lines on it.

To further add to those good tips

Enter text in a text box (centred text)
In draw > alignment > align to slide
then align middle and align centre

Or probably the most complex keyboard shortcut ever, select the text box and
Alt R,A,S followed by Alt R,A,C,R,A,M!!

Your fingers must be slowing down Steve!

It does work though well, it is stupid! The trick is to release the alt key
after R A S and press it again before R A C R A M
