SPECIFYING ALIGNMENT

                 Alignment helps you to align the text of the slide in various directions. You can align the text not
                 only in placeholders, but also in text boxes, shapes, charts, tables, etc. You can specify mainly
                 four types of alignment in the presentation:
                 ✶  Align Left: It is used to shift the text into the left side of the slide window.
                 ✶  Align Right: It is used to shift the text into the right side of the slide window.

                 ✶  Center: It is used to shift the text into the center of the slide window.
                 ✶  Justify: It adds spaces between the words so that lines of text touches both left and right
                    margins. It gives a clear look to the text.
                 To align the text, follow these steps:
                 Step 1   Select the text. Click on Home tab.

                 Step 2   Select any  alignment  option  from  the  Paragraph group.  The  text  will be  aligned
                          according to selected alignment.

                    TABLES IN POWERPOINT

                 A table is an arrangement of text in the form of columns and rows. It can be very useful in
                 organising, and analysing the data. A table consists of vertical columns and horizontal rows.
                 The intersection of a row and a column in a table is called a cell. The cells of a table can contain
                 images, text, drawings, cliparts, etc.
