Inserting text in a basic shape

[Sazie]

In PowerPoint 2007, I've drawn several basic shapes, then clicked the shapes
to add text; however, the text in several of the shapes is very strange...as
though it's "outdented" on the first line or indented on the following lines.
The lines are all out of alignment, and I've tried everything I can possibly
think of but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced anything like this,
and if so, do you know how to fix it?

I know this will sound weird, but I suspect it's a printer driver issue.
Please humor me and try this exact printer driver installed in this exact
way: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

As well as what Echo said, which is quite likely to be a problem, did you
check the first and subsequent line markers on the ruler (the grey arrows)?
