Cannot Remove Bullet From Slide

[Dave Kennedy]

I have a very strange iss with a 2003 .ppt file. I try to edit a slide and
remove the bullet point, save the file with the new change, open the file
again and the bullet point is still there. I have tried using the Delete
key, clicking on the Bullet icon in the tool bar, clicked within the text box
containg the bullet and selecting Bullets and Numbering. Each of these will
remove the bullet but it still re-appears when I reopen the file.

I also tried saving the change to a new file under a different name, same
thing happens. I also tried opening the file on another computer to rule out
an issue with my install of PowerPoint 2003.

Help!!!

Found out the problem was that the master slide the PowerPoint was originally
built on contained the bullet point. Once I removed the bullet from the
master slide, I was able to save the PowerPoint to a new file name and the
bullet point stayed deleted.
