Subtitles of the Movie

Alright. So we built a very basic presentation so far and in these first couple modules of the tutorial, we're just covering some of the basics and one of those basics certainly is going to be to add text to our slides and I bet you can figure out how to do that. If you have slide selected here, like you see here or here, pretty much spoon feeds it to you. Double click to edit. So let's give it a try. Double click and this is a subtitle. There we go. So again, you can, this is pretty intuitive to use. If I hit enter or return, it will make a line break and I can add more text. If I hit enter again, it just keeps adding to that text box, but depending on how that text box is formatted, it may move you below the parameters of that text box and we'll deal with that later on. So here we have a slide and the master of that slide is title and bullets so again, we edit the title by double clicking and we edit the bullets by double clicking, add bullets to the presentation. Now, if I hit enter here, then it gives me another bullet point in my list. So the list continues, add more stuff and so on. If I want to indent this, I can hit the tab key and if I just keep hitting tab, it keeps indenting that bullet so you can kind of set apart some of the text in your presentation and your slide. If I hold down shift and hit the tab key, then I move back the other way. I move to the left of my bullet. If I hold down the option key and hit enter or return, it makes me a new line without a bullet, as you can see here. Now, do keep in mind though that these two things are linked together. That you've made essentially a line break and not a hard return, so what happens if I press tab here is that that grouping goes together. And I'll hit shift and tab as well. Now, what you see in these slides, of course, will depend on what master you've selected and we talked about that in the previous module. What happens if I select or I put a new slide in my presentation and I choose a blank slide? How do I add text to this thing right here? Where do I double click? How do I start typing? Well, the answer to that quite simply is you don't. You can't double click and add text to a blank slide. To add text, you'll add a text box to a blank slide. So that's something we'll cover in this module. We'll deal with that later on. So I'm going to do the command Z and make that go away. You'll also see that text box come up in some other places like this picture type of slide. I can edit the text there by dealing with that text box. So again, it's pretty intuitive stuff. It doesn't really take me explaining it a whole lot, just some of the things, some of the additional items about adding text. You know, it's pretty easy to double click and start typing, but some of the other things you, the first time you encounter them can be a little bit new, like when does a bullet get added and when does it not? Also, keep in mind that if you want to ever delete an item, a slide, all you have to do is select it and hit the delete key and that removes the slide from the presentation. But also keep in mind that just because it is highlighted in blue here does not mean it is a selected slide, so you could actually be editing text here and now if I hit the delete key, it'll delete the text. Notice it won't delete the slide. So if you want to delete the entire slide, you have to select it, it's highlighted with this yellow outline and now hit the delete key, the slide goes away. Of course, the undo is available to you, command Z and the text and the slide are right back where we left them.
