Split one PowerPoint slide into two

If your text doesn't fit easily on one slide, spread the text onto a second slide. If the text is in a text placeholder, you can easily do this with the Outline toolbar. To display the Outline toolbar, right-click any toolbar and select Outline, then follow these steps:

1. Work in the Outline pane, not on the slide. (If necessary click the Outline tab of the Outline pane.) Place the cursor at the end of the last line of text that you want on the first slide and press ENTER.
2. On the Outline toolbar, click Promote until a New Slide icon appears in the Outline pane.
3. Type a title for the new slide.
4. Adjust the rest of the text as needed by clicking Demote or Promote on the Outline toolbar.
