Problem: textboxbackground changes into white!

[Bart Eenkhoorn]

L.S.
I wonder who could help me with the following problem:
- working with XPSP2 and ppt2003 with about 140 slides, all text-box
backgrounds turn white!. I cannot undo this with cntr-Z or restore the old
background color any other way. Does this sound familiar?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice offered.
Bart.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for replying,

When you do what? When you say "turn white" and "old background color" it
suggests that they're some other color to start?

Yes, I have all my text-boxes set to "no fill color" (sorry, I have to guess
here what the english is saying because I use french) and the border-line to
'no line'. So the color that is visible is the colors/texture of the master
in the background.
Twice now, all my text-boxes changed to fill-color-white, and
border-color-black. In a 100+ slides presentation this means many many
clicks to change all this back to "no fill color" and 'no line'.

Any ideas or advice will be valued.

Bart

Hi Steve,
I think what Bart is trying to communicate is that then when one goes to
type in the text box it goes to white what so you can not see what you are
typing since your text is white. You have to blindly type and hope you
spelled everything correctly. Do the old click outside the box, review, etc.
I am having the same problem and can not fix it.
Any advice for the two of us?
