Frame window.

Once you've placed a text template on
your slide, you can replace the default text
with your own text using the Text fx
dialog.

Preview window, click a text string to
select it. The string also appears in the

box to select it, and type some text.
The new text replaces the default text
as you type.

You can type over the text in the Text fx dialog
just as you would in most text editor
applications.

string to select it.
