Text Box
What is a TexT Box?
Definition
A text box is a defined container used to hold and display text separately from the main content area of a page or slide. It allows text to be positioned, resized, and formatted independently within its own boundary. This makes it possible to organise and highlight information clearly without affecting surrounding content.
