From: cayce on 14 May 2008 10:31 In the slide master, a paragraph has 4 sentences within the placeholder. When making the 1st sentence font a larger size, all the subsequent sentences in the paragraph change. Why is this happening and any way to stop it? I realize a work around is to create a separate placeholder for the one sentence that needs to be larger, and a different placeholder for the remaining sentences. The question is why it is occuring in the first place. This is in PP2007 and the font used is not defined as a theme font. Any insight would be appreciated.
From: Echo S on 14 May 2008 10:59 Select the text in the placeholder and make the font bigger. It sounds to me like you have the placeholder itself selected -- so any change you make will apply to everything in the placeholder. Selecting just one level of text in the placeholder allows you to make changes to just it. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "cayce" <cayce(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:56884EC4-CC6C-4D7A-BF55-7C272D6393B3(a)microsoft.com... > In the slide master, a paragraph has 4 sentences within the placeholder. > When > making the 1st sentence font a larger size, all the subsequent sentences > in > the paragraph change.

From: cayce on 14 May 2008 11:34 No..that's not it. I realize now that I misstated the issue. The placeholder had multiple paragraphs in it, not sentences. When changing the font size of paragraph 1 to something larger, the remaining 4 paragraphs also change to that larger font size. I do not have the placeholder selected. Any ideas?

From: Echo S on 14 May 2008 11:44 I'm sorry, I cannot repro this. Can you give step-by-step instructions for what you're doing? Start from View | Slide Master, indicate which slide master you've selected, and go from there. Or if it's one you created or modified, walk me through those steps also. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "cayce" <cayce(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2909AC6F-6EE3-4B10-A7FE-603755AA7244(a)microsoft.com... > No..that's not it.

Oh, in addition to my other post, did you use Shift+Enter to create the "paragraphs"? That would add a soft return, dropping the text to the next line, but not actually creating a new, separate paragraph. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "cayce" <cayce(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2909AC6F-6EE3-4B10-A7FE-603755AA7244(a)microsoft.com... > No..that's not it.
