text shadowing when pasting a table from Word into Powerpoint

[John]

Hello-

I am experiencing a problem and would appreciate any suggestions.

I want to use a table from a Word 2000 doc in a Powerpoint 2000
presentation. It pastes in but all the text is shadowed on the
Powerpoint slide, as though I had formatted the font to shadow.

The only solution I have found is to paste from Word to Excel,
reformat, then paste from Excel into Powerpoint.

Has anyone else run across this Word-to-Powerpoint problem with tables?

What happens when you create a new text box using PPT's text tool?
If it's shadowed too, it sounds as though you've somehow gotten shadows turned
on as part of your defaults.

Draw a text box, choose Format, Font; remove the check next to Shadow if it's
there; PUT a check next to "Default for new objects" then click OK.

If that doesn't sort it out, let us know.
