removal of text shadow ran amonk

[MoPete99]

How do I remove text shadow that is beneath each letter in each word? I
changed slide design in which the text had shadows, and some slides' text
title has shadow behind each each letter in each word, which is what I want.
However, there is text shadow beneath each letter in each word as well and
it's upside down, which is what I would like to remove. By the way, when I
delete the text altogether and retype it, the same problem recurs.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sounds like the shadow was applied to the placeholder on the slide master.
You'll want to remove it there.

As for how, I think http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/shadows.htm might help.

Thanks Echo. I'll give it a try.

it could be that you have the shape shadow applied instead of the text
shadow. if the box you are typing in has a transparent background and a
shadow setting applied the shadow will appear on the text. the shape shadow
is adjustable with the angle of light so it could appear upside down.

Emma,

I was not quite correct with my description. It so happens that the text in
a title placeholder has an unside down shadow without engaging the text
shadow feature. In the title text placeholder on the slide master, it
reveals the instructions "click here to change the text master style." This
line has an upside down shadow. So for some (but not all) of the slides in
my presentation, the text in a title placeholder will be identical to the
style on the slide master. I'm at a loss how to correct it.

Thanks for your reply.

Hm. Maybe there's a reflection applied to the placeholder? Try selecting the
placeholder by clicking the edge of it (or clicking inside it then hitting
Esc button on your keyboard) then going to Drawing Tools Format and choosing
Shape Effects. There, click Shadow and then No Shadow and Reflection and
then No Reflection, etc.
