Text in outline mode
Translators often get presentations from clients with unknown formatting.
Recently we have found that although text boxes are editable within the slide, the text however does not always appearin outline mode. What allows some text appearing in ouline mode and some not? If it was all visible then spell checking would be very easy. |

No text will appear when somethin is written in a shape or in a text box that was drawn on the slide. -- Mit vielen Grüßen Pia Bork MVP PowerPoint http://www.ppt-faq.de |

Text in outline mode
Text in "placeholders" shows in outline view, but text in "manual textboxes"
does not. A placeholder is the box on the slide that says "click to add text," or "click to add title." "Manual textboxes" are the ones created when you click the textbox icon and drag or click on the slide to add a textbox. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Alan" wrote in message ...

Something MS could deal with perhaps? Many thanks for such a quick reply.

Usually this actually means something like "Right after the first shipment of ice cubes arrives from Beelzebub." ;-) PowerPoint has worked this way since the outline view first appeared. It's not likely that it'll change. On the other hand, if you'd like to export all of the text to a file you can hand to a translator, that's fairly simple. Export Text to a text file, extract text from PowerPoint (Mac or PC) http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00274.htm That wouldn't help getting the text back INTO PPT once translated but it's a start. alan "Echo S" wrote: Text in "placeholders" shows in outline view, but text in "manual textboxes" does not.
