Text added in PowerPoint slides can often appear out of place and might need adjustment. If you want to wrap text in PowerPoint in a text box or slide element like an image, there are different methods to align your text properly.
How to Wrap Text in a Text Box in PowerPoint
To wrap in a PowerPoint text box, you can use the various alignment options via the Home tab, such as justifying the text to align it. Furthermore, you can also drag and drop the text box to adjust the text in your custom designs or PowerPoint templates.
If your text appears out of place, go to the Home tab and use the alignment options via the Paragraph menu. The most common option to use here is Justify to align text properly.
Below is an example of text wrapped via Home -> Justify in PowerPoint.
How to Wrap Text Around an Image in PowerPoint
The most common reason for wrapping text in PowerPoint is to adjust an image to align it with the text. Images and text can often overlap, and it can be hard to adjust slide elements properly. In such a case, you can use alignment options or drag and drop to adjust your slide design.
Justify to Wrap Text in PowerPoint Around an Image
Often, using Justify or other alignment options (Right, Left, or Center) via the Home tab is sufficient to wrap text around an image in PowerPoint. However, you can also drag and drop slide objects for further adjustment.

Drag and Drop to Wrap Text Around an Image in PowerPoint
Another method to neatly wrap your text around an image in PowerPoint is to use one or more text boxes and drag them around the image. You can drag the text boxes and image(s) to look properly aligned. The text can also be justified to give it a neat look.
Insert Wrapped Text Around an Image from Word in PowerPoint
If PowerPoint seems a bit too complex to wrap text, you can use Word to do the job for you and import your wrapped text aligned with an image to PowerPoint. To do this, go to Insert -> Text -> Object.
From the dialog box, scroll down, select Microsoft Word Document from the list, and click OK.
This will open a Word document to add and adjust content. Insert your image and text in the document and align it using Wrap Text from the Insert tab. Try various layouts, such as Tight, to adjust your text and image. Close the Word document.

Final Words
Wrapping text in PowerPoint can be done by aligning text, using Justify to adjust the text, and dragging and dropping slide elements. The alignment can be done using drag and drop to make your image and text look neatly aligned. If you’re comfortable using text wrapping in Word, inserting the wrapped text as an object in PowerPoint might be easy.
You can use the method mentioned above for custom PowerPoint slide designs and even readymade PowerPoint or Google Slides templates.
