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.

Step 3: If you want to split into 2 columns, choose Two Columns. If you want to split into 3 columns, choose Three Columns. If you want to split into more than 3 columns, choose More Columns and enter the desired number of columns and the space between them.

Note: It is recommended to choose More Columns and specify the desired number of columns and the space between them. Choosing Two Columns or Three Columns may result in columns that stick together due to the lack of space between them.
