First, insert a text box by selecting “Text box” from the “Insert” menu. 

Click and drag on the top part of your first slide to draw the text box where we will place our header.

Click inside the text box you created, and type the title that you want to use as the header for your presentation. In our example, we will type “Sustainable Living Practices.” 

3. Customize the Header Text to Fit the Theme of Sustainability

Highlight the header text you’ve just entered. Use the toolbar to select a color and font style that aligns with your presentation’s theme. 

4. Copy and Apply the Header to All Slides for Consistency
