MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006How to start without a bullet and next line without indent?
Normally a text slide starts with a bullet. In many cases you want to start with a non-bulleted introduction text over, let's say, 3 lines. When the bullet is manually turned off (to start without a bullet) the continued next line is indented to the bullet position (without a bullet). What would be the best solution to solve this 'indent without a bullet' problem? Thanx! Guurt Can you see the ruler? If not view > ruler There are two grey pointers (carets) the top one controls the indent of paragraph first lines and the lower one other lines. Slide either so that they both line up.

Please, I am looking for a more 'sophisticated' solution... Thanks again! Guurt > Can you see the ruler? If not view > ruler > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Guurt Youre right that wasnt a very good method! This is a little more difficult On the master slide set both ruler indents for level one all the way left. Now click in level 2 and set the bullets and text size the same as for level 1 Now still in level two drag the TOP caret to line up with the carets for level 1 (you will need to hold down ctrl) If you have XP / 2003 you could use multiple masters and apply this one only when needed For your first lines use level 1 with bullets OFF For bulleted text turn on bullets and tab to level 2 Hope that makes some sense to you!

How can i download microsoft powerpoint for use in microsoft works? i need to do some presentations, but cannot open and edit a draft powerpoint presentation on my computor even though it has works. When i down load the attachment sent to me, it does not recognise any work program i can use to edit. On the powerpoint thing, i can only download powerpoint viewer, this doesnt allow me to edit the presentation. Just clicking on the Bullet menu item on the toolbar turns it off for me.
