Although numerous tutorials recommend that too much text on a single slide is not a good idea and less text with only key points is the golden line. But it’s not necessary that PowerPoint with much text is absolutely worse. At times a large paragraph of text is required when it is analysts cited from others’ works. When you insert an image into a PowerPoint presentation, text is re-positioned above, below or to either side of the image. To blend the image into your text, wrap text around the image.
