PowerPoint - Help with PowerPoint 2003 bullet levels
Asked By Indigo99
20-Nov-09 03:09 PM
I have set up master slide text autolayout as follows:
Level one, no bullet or indent
. Level two, bullet with indent
- Level three, bullet with indent
Here is the problem: After I type text in the first bullet level and press
enter to start a new paragraph, the tab key no longer works to change the new
paragraph to level two - have to use the outline arrows. I have experimented
and it looks like the tab will only function right if level one has a bullet.
I have experimented with inserting an "invisible" bullet in level one and
reducing it in size as far as possible (25% is the limit). It sort of works
but there is a slightly noticeable indent on the first line if level one
wraps to two lines.
Any ideas?

I always use increase indent instead of Tabs (especially in this case). Is
the problem that you are doing this for someone else?

I am creating and troubleshooting a template that will be used by 20,000+
users so it has to work right. I know lots of people are accustomed to
changing bullet levels by pressing the tab key to get a sublevel bullet or
typing Shift+Tab to go back a level. I prefer this method myself because it is
much faster than using the outline toolbar arrows.
But the tab key no longer changes the next para to sublevel when level one
has no bullet. Any workarounds that you know of? We'd definitely like to keep
level one with no indent or bullet.

Alt+Shift+Right Arrow will give you a bullet on the 2nd line if there is not
one on the first. When I have clients that insist on a no-bullet for the
first line, we have to train their users to use the Increase Indent button
or the Alt+Shift+Right Arow instead of Tab. I know no other way around it.

Not a completely satisfactory workaround but I have done a couple of
templates with a full stop as bullet set to background 1 color and then
adjusted the lower ruler stop slightly to the right to make line 2 line up.
Sort of works.

Best way to make DVD of a PP slide show? PowerPoint I am having a go at making a slide show in PP 2007, there is music too, no other voice over. I chose PP because I thought this user inserts the DVD? And stuff like this, I better know. Thanks in advance. - - dorayme PowerPoint Discussions PowerPoint (1) Windows DVD Maker (1) Windows 7 (1) Office (1) Vista (1) Windows Live Photo Gallery (1) Exception (1) Relative (1) Download the free PowerPoint Player and add it to your DVD. Include instructions on how to use it. If the end user does not already have PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Player on his computer I recommend to them that they install the PowerPoint Player on the DVD to their hard drive. That way they can always view PPT

VBA to VB.Net code Help PowerPoint Hello all, I am an absolute beginner to VB and trying to write a one simple code. My issue is I wrote a working code to automate an animation within powerpoint i.e VBA and need to transfer it to a user form in VB2008 so simple button click will open ppt and perform the following actions.
