Objective 21.1, 21.2, 24.1
An object is any shape, picture, media clip, chart, or text box inserted into a slide. Content placeholders are
considered objects. To make changes to an object, you must first select or highlight it.
As you have seen in previous lessons, the circles that appear around a selected object are handles; they verify
that the object is selected and that you can make changes to it.
Placeholders show handles in two different modes. You must look at the border to determine which mode you are
in:
When the border around a placeholder is a dashed line, you are in Edit mode and you can select specific areas
of the text in the box for changes.
When the border around a placeholder is a solid line, you are in Select mode and can affect all the contents
within the placeholder. To activate Select mode, position the mouse pointer on one of the borders of the
placeholder, and then click when you see (mouse pointer with fourheaded arrow).
PowerPoint provides several ways to work with text and placeholders.
To insert text, click in the placeholder to display the blinking insertion point (the cursor), then move to where
you want to enter the new text and start typing.
To delete text, use the or keys.
You can also select text, then press .
If you want to insert text into your presentation from another presentation, or from another location in the current
presentation, you can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands.
The Spelling feature works in the background to check for spelling mistakes as you type. When PowerPoint
detects a mistake, a wavy red line displays underneath the text. You can correct the mistakes immediately, or wait
until you are finished creating the presentation.

your presentation.

the spell check. For example, change the word “ware” to “war” in the first bullet point on slide 2.
