📌 Why this matters
Adding text boxes gives you complete control over where text appears on your slide, breaking free from the rigid placeholder layouts that come with templates. You can position explanatory notes next to specific images, create custom callout boxes, or overlay text on photos without being constrained by predetermined text areas. Text boxes also maintain their formatting independently from slide masters, so you can create consistent annotation styles across presentations while keeping your main content areas clean and focused.
