2. XP New Perspectives on Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Tutorial 2 2 Create, resize, and move text boxes and graphics boxes When modifying your layout, consider not only how it will affect visual appeal, but also how it will affect the information, emphasis, and clarity of the presentation. –The graphics you choose should have an obvious relationship to the text on a slide PowerPoint enables you to use a grid to resize, move, and align graphics and text boxes so that you can size and position them precisely on your slides. Such consistency in positioning helps polish the presentation and prevents objects from "jumping" when you advance from slide to slide. Making such changes in the masters will apply the changes to all slides.
