Folks- Ellen Finkelstein provided some advice
http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/powerpoint_tip_import_text_word.html
but it's not quite what I want. The bullets are wrong (I don't want
any symbol). I want to simply take the office manager's Word file of
the announcements, strip in down to plain text in Notepad, insert
paragraph breaks and tabs, and Open it in PowerPoint with the font,
background color, shadow, bullet style (none), justification (center),
etc etc. Seems like I need to get smart on how to create a Slide
Layout, Slide Master, and a Slide Template and learn how to use them
all. Anybody already do all this? Maybe I'll have to break down and
buy her book. -Paul Burgener, Newport News, VA (e-mail address removed)
 
I think you have just about answered your own question! What you need to do
is to format the master slide to the font, size and centering AND the no
bullet style. Just go to View | Master | Slide Master and click in each
placeholder and change the font - size colour etc - and see what that does to
your slides. Practise on something simple first. It's actually not that
difficult. You could also Google for master slide in the advanced tab and
file type of pdf. Here's one I got.

Thanks, Rae. I'm printing out your .pdf file to study. I'll have to
read up on "Master Slides". Sorry it took so long to check back to
this forum.
