Text Box Fill problem

[Thomas]

I am trying to fill a text-box in Powerpoint.

However, when I select the fill tool I get the message ' Measurement
must be between 0 - 55.8 and it subsequently won't let me apply a
fill.

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks in advance for any replies.

Have you tried Right-clicking the text box and selecting the colour option?

I can't find anything on this.

And stupid MS site's search gives me all kinds of irrelevant things when I searched for exact phrase "Measurement must be between 0." Oh, well.

How are you selecting the color fill? And what version of PPT?
