Too Many Indents

[Newbie3713]

I have somehow added 5 indents to a slide. I really only need 3, and the
extra indents are screwing up the formatting.

How do I remove the extra indents? I have tried deleting levels from the
slide Master, but when I go back to the slide all of the indent markers are
still there.

Thanks in advance.

Use the promote and demote buttons on the toolbar to move the lines up and
down in level.

You can also do this in outline view, which may be easier.

You can also put your cursor at the beginning of the text and press
Shift+Tab to demote it (move it up a level).

People often do these multiple indents to decrease the size of the text, not
realizing the other hassles it may cause, especially when you apply a
different template that uses different bullets.

I have the same problem, haven't a clue how the indents got there except I
was working on a different computer last evening. I am using Microsoft 2003.
I don't know what the promote and demote buttons are and shift tab does not
remover them.

Help please!

Were you working on a 2007 computer last night? That could be the problem.

The Promote and Demote buttons look like 3 or 4 horizontal black bars.
They're on the toolbar, usually near the font buttons. They may be called
"increase indent" and "decrease indent."
