📌 Why this matters
Bordered text boxes transform ordinary slides into professional presentations that guide your audience's attention exactly where you want it. You can highlight key takeaways, create visual hierarchy between different types of information, and make important quotes or statistics pop off the page. Beyond aesthetics, borders serve as subtle psychological cues that signal importance to viewers. When you're presenting remotely or to large audiences, these visual boundaries become even more critical since people process information faster when it's clearly separated from surrounding content.
