The "Centerline" slide type is an excellent slide for either a regular narrative text display or an intro. Since you have many size options for the text, you can utilize it in several ways.
It has a distinct presentation with its line and with the different animation options you can use it both as a standalone or in a sequence for great effect.
Main Example

Basic usage
The "Centerline" slide type has one text field, Main Text. The Main - Tiny, Small Alternate, Small, Medium Alternate, Medium, Large Alternate, Large, X-Large Alternate, X-Large, Huge Number, and Huge. The default font size is Medium.
The font size decides what font that will be picked up from the theme. When changing slide type, the text from one default text field will be carried over to another.
Depending on the Textbox Width and Text size, you can fit different amounts of text into the slide.
Fine Print: You also have the option to add a "Fine Print" (300 characters) at the bottom of the slide. The text size is Tiny but can be scaled between 10-100%. The placement of the Fine Print will adapt to the placement of the logo (if the logo is at the bottom of the slide, the Fine Print will move to the top of the slide). Text Alignment - Left, Center, Right.
General Settings

Line Y-position: Set the lines vertical position in pixels from the top of the screen, 400 is the default setting.
Width Settings: Set the line to dynamically follow text width, be max width of the canvas or have a fixed width in pixels. Choose from Follow text width, Maximum, and Fixed.
Fixed Width: The width of the line when you choose 'Fixed Width', 400 is the default setting.

Slide Settings
Use full width for textbox: Check this box to adjust the width of the text box to use all available width.
In a 16x9 format this will change the width that the text can flow before a line break. If unchecked the textbox will keep its width no matter the format.
Text Alignment: Align the text fields (together) to the left, center, right, or Justified. If you want to have different alignment on the two text fields, you choose Use Separate Settings.
Horizontal Content Position (X): Left, Center, Right, and Fixed.
Fixed Horizontal Position (X): You can also input a fixed Horizontal Position if you want to precisely place the text, which is useful when repeating slides. You do this by choosing "Fixed" in "Horizontal Content Position" and then adding a value in "Fixed Horizontal Position" (0 = at the left side of the canvas).
Color Settings
The color settings let you adjust the color of Main text and Line. You can also set the opacity of the Line.
You find the color settings for Fine Print under Fine print in the side menu.
