Using the Mini Toolbar
When you select text in PowerPoint, a small semitransparent toolbar appears near your cursor. This is the Mini toolbar, and if you move your cursor over the Mini toolbar, it will come completely into view (Figure 4.33). The Mini toolbar makes it easy to style text without having to resort to the Ribbon. You can use it to set fonts, font size, text color, bold, italic, text alignment, create bulleted lists, and increase or decrease bullet indent.
