Copying text from Word table to Powerpoint Table

[TedinTO]

When I copy text from a Word table I created to a table in Powerpoint, it
creates an indent I don't want. When I select the text and look at the ruler
in Powerpoint, I see no indents/tabs to remove. If I add bullets the text
lines up properly; then if I remove the bullets the indent reappears.
- I have tried clearing the format in Word before I cut the text and still
get the indent.
- I have tried Pasting Special as unformatted text and still get the indent.
- I have tried creating a table on another slide in the presentation and
pasted the text and still go the indent.
How can I get rid of this indenting?

I would suggest always stating your PowerPoint version whenever posting a
question. In 2002 & 2003 versions ...

1) Select all the boxes in the table
2) Right click on the selection
3) Select Borders and fill
4) Select the Textbox Tab
5) Reduce the padding size (internal margins) to 0" in all the boxes
6) OK out of everything

I'm having the same issue as above, I tried reducing padding size to
0, and that didn't fix the issue. It indents the 2nd, 3rd, 4th line
farther than the first line, and nothing in the ruler indicates that
this should be happening.
