You can divide the paragraph in a PowerPoint slide into columns to enhance the visual appearance of your presentation. However, not everyone is familiar with this technique. Follow the instructions provided by FPT Shop if you are unsure how to proceed.

Splitting Columns in PowerPoint with Split Slide

Split Slide is a function located within the Paragraph alignment group. To split a paragraph into multiple columns, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the PowerPoint file and select the slide containing the paragraph you wish to split into columns.

Step 2: Select the paragraph you want to split into columns. In the Paragraph section on the Home tab, click on the column split icon as shown in the illustration below.
