Hi there, I wanted to know how to create a text box so that I can write anywhere on the slide, for example on the left, etc... Because every time I create tables and write in the second column, for example, when I create with AI, the table is not respected and it is visible on some slides (colored ones, etc.).
Great question! Gamma works a bit differently than PowerPoint - instead of draggable text boxes, it uses a block-based system with Smart Layouts. For positioning text on specific sides of a card: Click the Insert menu on the right side of your screen
Select Smart Layouts
Choose a column-based layout that fits what you need (left/right splits, multi-column, etc.)
You can also adjust text alignment within any block - just highlight your text and choose left, center, or right alignment from the formatting menu. About the table issue with AI generation: This is a known limitation. When AI generates content, it doesn't always preserve table formatting perfectly, especially on cards with colored backgrounds or complex styling. Here's what I'd suggest:
Use columns instead of tables - Smart Layouts with columns often display more reliably than tables
Edit after generation - Let AI create the content, then click on the layout and switch to a different one. Gamma will automatically adjust your content to fit
Try "Try new layout" - Click the sparkle icon on any card and select "Try new layout" to have AI suggest alternatives that might work better
