Hanging Indent/Left indent marker
I have inherited a ppt presentation and am making some updates, but am having
trouble with the hanging indent of bulleted text. For some reason, I cannot change the hanging indent. When I move the left indent marker (the little triangle on the bottom) in the ruler area, it has no effect on the text. The text remains indented approximately 3/8". Even if I drag the marker way out 3 or 4 inches, the text indentation doesn't move at all. Moving the first-line indent marker (the inverted triangle on the top) does move the text in as expected. I created a new text box, and verified the left indent marker worked, then copied my bulleted text and pasted it into a the text box. But, for these lines that I paste into the text box, moving the marker still has no effect on them. However, if I type new text on separate lines, the marker will work for those lines only, leaving the pasted bulleted lines unchanged. When I look at the master slide, everything seems to be in order. Any idea what's going on? Could this be a bug in PowerPoint related to sharing of presentations across different users? I'd rather not retype all the bullets in this presentation, so I would love to hear if anyone has a solution. Thanks. |

No, no tab markers. I tried inserting some just to see what would happen,
but it didn't change things (unless of course I entered some tabs into the text). "John" wrote: Jonga wrote: Forgot to mention that I'm using PowerPoint 2003 SP3 Can you see any tab markers (like a black "L")on the ruler? . |
