Once you have the question mark in the slide, select the text and then right click to choose Format Text Effects.

Step 2: Change Rotation Options and Bevel Effect

Using the Format Text Effects dialog box you can select the 3D options including the 3D rotation which will help you to rotate the text by any desired rotation degree.

After choosing the rotation options you can also change the 3D Format options. Here you can choose the bevel level and the Depth. In this example we have used 40 pt for the depth and 15 pt for width and height in the Bevel field.

Step 3 – Add a Shadow Effect

You can easily add a shadow effect with PowerPoint shape properties but in this case we will use a subtle shadow style like in the picture. In order to add this shadow effect we will use a shape and fill it with a gradient fill to simulate the shadow.
