Add Dynamic Text
There are two ways to add dynamic text to your reports:
Add Dynamic Text from Illustrate
You can easily add dynamic text from Illustrate by locating it in the Content panel in Present. As with adding any other visuals to your presentation, simply find the required text in the folder tree and drag it onto the canvas.
