Too Many Indents
I have somehow added 5 indents to a slide. I really only need 3, and the
extra indents are screwing up the formatting. How do I remove the extra indents? I have tried deleting levels from the slide Master, but when I go back to the slide all of the indent markers are still there. Thanks in advance. |

Too Many Indents
Use the promote and demote buttons on the toolbar to move the lines up and
down in level. You can also do this in outline view, which may be easier. You can also put your cursor at the beginning of the text and press Shift+Tab to demote it (move it up a level). People often do these multiple indents to decrease the size of the text, not realizing the other hassles it may cause, especially when you apply a different template that uses different bullets. -- 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 Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

Too Many Indents
I have the same problem, haven't a clue how the indents got there except I
was working on a different computer last evening. I am using Microsoft 2003. I don't know what the promote and demote buttons are and shift tab does not remover them. Help please!

Too Many Indents
Were you working on a 2007 computer last night? That could be the problem.
The Promote and Demote buttons look like 3 or 4 horizontal black bars. They're on the toolbar, usually near the font buttons. They may be called "increase indent" and "decrease indent." -- 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 "Jopeg" wrote in message ...
