Miscellanous Powerpoint 2007 Questions

[cheryl c]

Hi,
I am an adult education teacher and the following questions came up in class:
1. When using a text box on a slide and making bullets, the text that is
continued to the 2nd line is not indented. Why is this?
2. Why when you ask for a font replacement, you get an error stating "you
selected a single byte font to replace a double byte font." Why is this? Is
it because the one selected for the replacement is not installed?
3. When using Translation, why does the "insert button" show for some
languages and copy shows for other languages?
4. When creating a text box, put words in the box and select justify, the
text left aligns. Why does it not justify?
5. With ruler turned on, and nothing selected on slide, ruler started on the
left at -5. Why is this?
Please advise so I can give my class answers this Saturday. Thank you.

1. indents are controlled from the ruler (may need to be turned on: VIEW >>
RULER (check mark to see it). My guess is the master slide does not have the
needed indent setup.

2. PowerPoint's replace fonts feature is unable to handle unicode fonts
(which should be banished from all computers), so it is a limitation of the
application.

3. (uncertain)

4. This most likely connects with your #5. The text box itself has
non-standard settings. Right click the text box, select FORMAT SHAPE >> TEXT
BOX >> check the VERTICAL ALIGNMENT selection (top centered is not what you
want) >> also check the INTERNAL MARGIN (typical is .1" or .05")

5. See #4
