There's another way to split text between two slides. While you're typing into a text placeholder (placeholders: Boxes with dotted or hatch-marked borders that are part of most slide layouts. These boxes hold title and body text or objects such as charts, tables, and pictures.) on a slide, in a single-column layout, if the amount of text is more than the placeholder can contain, the AutoFit Options button appears to the left of the text. When you click it, it displays options that include splitting the text onto two slides or creating a blank second slide with the same slide title, on which you can type additional text.
