How to curve text in PowerPoint

In your PowerPoint presentation, click the Insert tab.
Within Insert, in the Text section, click WordArt.
From the WordArt dropdown menu, select a text style.
After your WordArt has appeared, click the Text Effects button in Shape Format. This is in the WordArt Styles section.
