Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked recently or is obvious. I did not find
the answer in the FAQ.

1. Is it possible to change settings so that hidden characters
(carriage returns, tabs, spaces etc.) are shown, e.g. like in MSWord?

2. Is it possible to search for such characters without using VBA?

I�m using MSPowerpoint 2003.

TIA
�rjan

Oerjan,
No hidden characters in PowerPoint I'm afraid.
Searching for them is not possible like in Word (^13 for instance is the
paragraph character).
Don't know about VBA though.

You may have to revert to using a 'hex editor' to search within the code
within the file.
