How to Arch on PowerPoint
Microsoft's PowerPoint presentation program allows users to customize pages, called slides, from scratch or by editing provided templates. In addition to adding sound and animation, you can add shapes and customize text. Curved lines and shapes can be created from the Drawing Toolbar, and text can be arched via the Format menu.
