left and right text justify

[DL]

Hello.
I develop powerpoint presentations weekly for our church projection system.
I have a recurring problem that I'd like to get to the bottom of. On most
of my text screens, I am able to take the top line (contains the name of the
song and verse number) and make it left justified. The remaining text on
the screen I like to be center justified. No problem. It works and looks
great. But, on a few of my "stinker" slides, it will NOT allow me to do
that. Even if I only highlight the top line and make it left justified, it
will change the entire slide to left justified.
Can anyone tell me why that is so?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Oh, BTW, I am using Powerpoint 2002 with Windows XP.

Steve,
That was not it, but you pointed me in the right direction. I'd never even
been to that menu page before in Powerpoint 2002. It turned out to be the
problem slides did not have "Word wrap text in AutoShape" selected. Once I
selected it, I could format the slide like I wanted.
By the way, no, there are not 2 separate text boxes. Only one.

Thank you very much.
Dave

I like that. A guy that can say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". You are
hired.
