Try resetting the slide layouts. (In PPT 2007, the Reset button is on the
Home tab next to the New Slide button.)

Hi,
I am using Word's Outline View and the "Send to Microsoft Office
PowerPoint"
function (added from the "Items not on the ribbon" in Word) to create
slides
from my outline points. Everything comes in just fine, but when I go to
change the style of my slides, it changes only the backgrounds, not the
text
formatting. In other words, my text comes in blue and stays blue no matter
what i do - can't change the font automagically, either.
I'm not sure whether to post this to the Word group or the Powerpoint
group,
so I apologize if this is in the wrong place!
Thanks in advance,
Kathy
