The following is my colleague's description of bizarre text
editing problems in Powerpoint X under OS X v10.2.8. I
looked over her shoulder and can verify this bizarre
behaviour that has her tearing her hair out!
-----
In slide sorter view I duplicated a slide that is similar
to the next one I want to make. Body text size reduced
itself from 30pt. to 26 pt. I have to manually change text
size back to 30pt.
Then I delete some of the body text, but when I hit delete,
text size automatically increases to 34 pt. and I have to
bump it back down to 30 pt.
When typing in the text change and the text bumps to the
next line, a white outline box appears after the cursor,
which I have to delete. Then I have to go in to adjust line
spacing which has mysteriously tightened. I increase the
line spacing and the spacing before a paragraph.
When I hit preview, the font decreases again to 26 pt. I
have to manually increase the font to 30 again but leading
is then automatically decreased to .8 instead of .9 which I
had just set it to. When I check the slide master, body
text is set at 30 pt. and line spacing at .9 with .2 after
paragraph, so the problem is not with the master settings.
-------
We have both been using Powerpoint since it's debut way
back when, and while we've seen some weird bugs, we've
never seen something quite this bizarre.
Any help?
