Tables have arrows

I am working on an old PPT presentation. For some reason, the tables have
suddenly started appearing with arrows in the lines - i.e. an arrow at the
end of each line. It means I have to ungroup the table, change the lines to
lines without arrows and then group again!

I have seen this once before but cannot remember the fix - apart from
starting a new presentation.

Any ideas?
 
Chris,
Try the ideas in this entry for Steve Rindsberg's PPT FAQ:

Thanks for this. I tried this method today - but didn't save it before
creating a new object - so maybe that's the bit I missed out

Will try back in the office tomorrow.

Many thanks
