set different indents for paragraphs

[Guest]

I have 2 paragraphs. One with bullet and one without bullet. I want the
bullet paragraph, second line to be indent. The papragraph with out bullet,
there won't be indented on the second line. How do I do it in the same text
box.

thanks

Unfortunately, PowerPoint text boxes don't have the same flexibility as
Word text boxes. Most paragraph formatting applies to the entire text
box rather than individual paragraphs. I believe you will have to use
separate text boxes to get this effect.

I've been trying to do the same thing and was about to pull all my hair out.
This program sucks for layout . Seems like it would be a simple thing to add
a paragraph formatting option.

Oh wait, this is Office. All your products basically suck!

Yep. It sucks for email too. Then again, so does Quark Xpress, even though
it's a pretty popular layout program. ;-)

PowerPoint isn't a layout program. You want to drive nails, you grab a hammer,
not a screwdriver.

We don't work for Microsoft. They're not our products. If you're bent on
insulting people here, you'll have find a different approach.

Actually there is a way to do this. Highlight the text, and use the indent
icon at the top of the screen. Not sure if you have to remove the bulleting
or not. Didn't mean to insult anyone, just the produts . I used to work for
them and readily admit MS products can be very trying on the user. And if it
were my choice I wouldn't be using PP for layout, but for this project I'm
stuck with it because to redo everything in Quark or InDesign would take too
long.
