📌 Why this matters
Glowing text transforms ordinary presentations into memorable visual experiences that capture and hold your audience's attention. You can highlight key points, create dramatic title slides, or add professional polish to important announcements.

This technique also helps differentiate between content hierarchies without relying solely on font size changes, giving you more creative control over how viewers process information in your slides.
