How to add lorem ipsum in PowerPoint

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): In many Windows versions of PowerPoint, the same command as Word works: click into an empty text box, type =lorem() and press Enter, or =lorem(2,3) for 2 paragraphs of 3 sentences. If it does nothing in your version or on a Mac, generate the text here, copy it and paste it into the placeholder, using Paste as text only to keep the slide's formatting. Slides need little text, so a sentence or two per box usually shows the layout better than full paragraphs.

Step by step

  1. Click into an empty text box.
  2. Type =lorem(2,3) and press Enter.
  3. If it does not work, paste text from here.
