Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for selecting text.

Select the object containing the text first. Then move the pointer inside the box and click so the I-beam insertion point appears. You can then select text three ways:


 * 1) Drag over it with the I-beam.
 * 2) Double-click to select a single word.
 * 3) Shift-click to extend a selection from one character or one word to another.

Highlighting indicates selected text.

To delete selected text, choose Clear from the Edit menu, or press the DEL or BACKSPACE key. To change its style or font, choose from the Style menu.
