Remove text and other objects from a slide
You can remove text from a slide layout. You can also temporarily turn off the text overlay so that it’s no longer visible
in the slide show. Temporarily turning off the text gives you the option of restoring it at any time by turning the text
overlay back on.
❖
Do any of the following:
•
To permanently remove text from a slide layout, click the text or object in the Slide Editor view to select it, and then
press the Delete key.
•
To turn off text visibility, deselect Text Overlays in the Overlays panel.
Note:
Deselecting Text Overlays does not turn off the visibility of the identity plate or rating stars.
•
To turn off the visibility of your identity plate or rating stars, either deselect Identity Plate or Rating Stars in the
Overlays panel, or select the object in the Slide Editor view and press the Delete key. You can always restore your
identity plate or rating stars to a slide layout by selecting their options in the Overlays panel.
