CORRECT TEXT

You are preparing a presentation for prospective students of the School of Fine Art.

On the Slide Master, duplicate the ‘’Blank’’ slide layout. Name the new Slide layout ‘’Picture with Text’’. Insert a picture placeholder on the left and a text placeholder on the right.

The exact size and position of the placeholders do not matter. Do not create a slide based on the new slide layout.

Answer: In PowerPoint, a placeholder is a pre-formatted container on a slide for content (text, graphics, or video). The pre-set formatting makes it easier to format slides consistently. You format a placeholder in Slide Master view. Then you use the placeholder―add content to it―in Normal view.

The pictured slide has two rectangular placeholders:

✑ The (upper) Title placeholder prompts the user for text and formats it in the default Heading font, size, and color

✑ The (lower) Content placeholder accepts text, or a table, chart, SmartArt graphic, picture, or video, as indicated by the clickable icons at its center.
