Content in a PowerPoint text box and table does not continue to the next slide automatically. You must copy, paste, duplicate and delete wanted and unwanted content. However, PowerPoint Autofit Split Text into two slides can save you time.
The AutoFit Split Text Between Two Slides feature creates a new slide, and it separates the text evenly between two slides. It’s not always perfect but it is a good start. Watch the video below.
When content extends the slide’s placeholder, the Autofit option icon appears in the bottom left corner. The user can click on the icon and choose the Split Text Between Two Slides.
What is a PowerPoint slide placeholder?
This feature works with the slide layout placeholders and is not available with text boxes and tables. But first, let me explain what a placeholder is. It is the dotted box on a slide embedded in the layout’s template. See examples of layout images below.
Whereas a Text Box is added manually onto a slide from the Insert menu. Since the placeholder and the text box visually looks the same, many users get confused between the two.
