Appearance of text boxes and text

Hi All

I have a presentation and one of the slides contains a heading and two sets
of bullets.

Each set of bullet points has shading in the background to make them stand
out. I have animated the slide so the heading appears, then text box one,,
then text box two. However, when I play the slide, the heading appears fine
but then the first empty coloured text box appears on its own, then the text
appears inside it, and the same for the second text box.

How do I edit this, so the actual text box appears with the text and not
before on its own? I have done this before and cna't think of what I did to
get around it.

Any urgent help would be appreciated, I need to get this done tonight.

Thank you.
Louise

What kind of "shading" have you applied? Is it just a fill color, or is it
shadows or what? And which version of PPT are you using?

Maybe this is the issue: http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/shadows.htm
