Why is text visible before the on-click effect takes place?

[PS]

I've just moved to Office 2007 and loaded a slide deck into PowerPoint 2007.
I'm trying to edit the slides for a presentation but I'm getting something
weird happen which didn't happen if Office 2003.

Slide background is Teal. I have 2 blocks of white text on the slide. Block
1 appears with the slide but the Block 2 text should only appear after a
mouse click. Standard stuff so far. BUT the weird thing is that Block 2 text
is appearing on the slide in black and when I click the mouse the text flies
in (correctly) in white. This defeats the point as it means people can see
the Block 2 text (albeit faintly in black) before it actually appears.

I can't figure out how to fix this. Can anybody help?

TIA

Does the problem text have a shadow?

No.

If the presentation is something that can be shared with me, could you send
me one of the slides with the problem? I have a couple of theories, but am
not sure if they apply. (And you have me curious.)

Unknot the reply address to reach me and remind me what to look at and I
will get back to both you and the newsgroup with what I find.
