If you can see the ruler. On the master select the text level and move the
lower grey caret (marker) to where you want the text to strat. Can't see ruler? View Ruler.

You also only have to manually formatting the spacing after the bullet if you
use text boxes. If you use the bullet layout, you'll get the spacing automatically. -- Linda Adams http://www.hackman-adams.com http://www.david-hedison.com "jacobite" wrote: when ever I bulletpoint text, how do I determine the space between the bullerpoint and the first word.

If you're using text boxes as Linda suggests you can also adjust the lower
ruler caret and then right click the text box set autoshape defaults. New text boxes should have the new bullet format. -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "John Wilson" wrote: If you can see the ruler.

Just to add a piece of info here...
When you right-click and "set autoshape defaults" on a textbox, you may (probably will) wipe out the fill and line color on your actual autoshapes. That means that ever time you draw a line or rectangle or other shape, it will be invisible and you'll have to manually add a line/fill color. So, after setting autoshape defaults on a textbox, I always immediately draw a rectangle, give it a fill and line color, and right-click | "set autoshape defaults" on it. It took me awhile to figure that out, it's so nonintuitive, so I like to spread the word when possible. ;-) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "John Wilson" john AT technologytrish.co DOT uk wrote in message ...

Thanks for that, I did get a blank autoshape and hadn't thought of that
answer, or rather I expected the text box to revert as well. -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Echo S" wrote: Just to add a piece of info here...
