The slides designed to show text information contain blocks of the "Text” type (text placeholders). Since text in presentations is most often in the form of lists, the default list style applies to the text placeholders. Thus, the text is entered to the text placeholders as a list. If needed, the list in the placeholders can be modified or converted into text.
