Drawing toolbar

[claire]

I'm using PowerPoint 2004 for MAC. When I try to open the DRAWING
TOOLBAR the PowerPoint program freezes and I have to force quit. I do
not consider the FORMATTING PALLETTE a substitute because it does not
have all of the features of the DRAWING TOOLBAR (like the ability to
change autoshapes, and the full range of block arrows, just for two
examples.) How can I get access to the DRAWING TOOLBAR (it opens in
Word)?

Hi Claire,

It sounds to me as if there is something wrong in PowerPoint's
preferences files.

Make sure PowerPoint is closed. Locate the PowerPoint preferences files
(you can use Apple+F from the desktop and just search for the word
PowerPoint to find them). Put the preference files into the trash, then
delete the trash.

Start PowerPoint and see if things are fixed.
