1. Add Text Shadow

Feature entry: Home / Text Tools tab → Text Shadow button

1. Select the text in the presentation that you want to format.
2. Click the Text Shadow button on the Home or Text Tools tab.
3. Check whether the default shadow effect has been applied to the text.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The selected text shows a shadow effect and clearer visual layering.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing the text or preview the slide show.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you do not select text first, the button may not affect the target text.
• Environment note: This feature applies to text content, and effect entries may differ for other object types.

2. Remove Text Shadow

Feature entry: Home / Text Tools tab → Text Shadow button

1. Select the text that already has the shadow effect.
2. Click the Text Shadow button again.
3. Check whether the text returns to a no-shadow state.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text shadow disappears and the text returns to a normal display state.
• What you can do next: You can continue applying other text styles.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the text with shadow is not selected, clicking again may not produce the expected result.

3. Adjust usage based on background and font size

Feature entry: Select text and preview it against the current slide background

1. Check whether the current slide background is dark or light.
2. Use Text Shadow first on titles or larger text.
3. Preview the slide and check whether the shadow makes the text clearer.
4. If small text becomes harder to read, remove the shadow or use a clearer layout instead.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: Titles or highlighted text stand out more clearly from the background.
• What you can do next: You can continue adjusting the slide layout and preview the presentation.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Applying shadow to small text may reduce readability.
• Environment note: If a projector is not bright enough, the shadow effect may look less obvious, so preview before presenting.
