Resize text to fit shape– doesn't save setting.

Hi all,

I'm creating a template for our company and there are a few requests for the template that are causing problems...

People want to text to automatically get smaller when there's too much for the text box. When I click the "Resize text to fit shape" setting and save the document– close it– and reopen– the setting is NOT saved.

I have to be compatible with older versions of powerpoint so I can't save as pptx (which the setting does stick when I save as pptx).

Also, when indenting bullets, they want the text to be–

1. Smaller
2. Image bullet for the highest level, and regular point on the following indents.

Any ideas? I have all the bullet things working, but the "Resize text to fit shape" thing doesn't save when applying it to the master slides.

Thanks
-john

The setting is being dropped when you save in the older format because that
feature is newly added in 2008. It isn't supported or recognized in the
earlier format. I'm afraid that anyone who wants/needs to stay with the
older format is limited to what that version supports.
