Depending on the type of slide that you are creating, you might find the occasion to arrange text on a slide in multiple columns. PowerPoint provides three options for placing text into columns on a slide:
You can use the Title and 2 Column slide layout to create a slide with side-by-side text columns.
You can place tab stops in a single text box and press Tab to create columns for your text.
You can use a table to create a two- or multiple-column text grid.
