Click Insert > Text. Right-click in your slide and select Insert > Text. All the standard text formatting options are available in the presentation toolbar, including selecting fonts, size, color, highlighting, indentations, and paragraph alignment. Bulleted and numbered lists are common in presentations. You can easily format some or all of your text fields to a list type, just follow these steps: While editing a text box (or after creating a new one) click the Numbered list icon (to the right of the Link icon), or the Bulleted list icon (to the right of the Numbered list icon), depending on your preference. The first bullet/number of your list will appear. To add additional space between your list items, press Shift+Enter. Please note: The formatting used in your original text may not be retained when copying and pasting text into a bulleted or numbered list. If this occurs, you can work around the issue by removing all formatting and then re-adding the desired formatting from within the Google Docs presentations editor. You can remove formatting from your text by highlighting the text and clicking the 'Remove formatting' button in the Google Docs toolbar, or copy the text and paste it into a plain-text editor (like Notepad) in order to discard the formatting.
