Hello,

I have a slide with 10 sentences each with a missing word at the end
of the sentence shown by .......

On clicking or pressing the enter key the words appear
(animation/entrance/dissolve).

This works fine in the original but when I Package for CD (PPT 2003)
the most of the words appear below the lines!

I have tried making the missing word fonts smaller and also making the
sentences shorter - no go. Each sentence takes up only 1 line and the
sentences are numbered.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

which font did you use? If the font you used is not installed on the
other machine, it will be substituted by one of the standard fonts,
resulting in misalignment. Stick to standard fonts like Arial, Verdana,
Tahoma, TimesNewRoman.

Is the target machine also using PowerPoint 2003 or an older version?
PPT 2000 and 97 used a slightly different slide format.

Best regards,
Ute

In fact I am creating and testing it on my own machine!

I have made the font of the missing words the same as the rest of the
sentence and still get this. Other ppts created in the same way (as
far as I can see at the moment!) are OK....

Cheers

Geoff
