Inserting text into PowerPoint

Hi,

I copy and paste text into a powerpoint slide, it lines up fine, but as soon as I save and close the file then reopen, the text is all over the place - the ruler at the top shows two margins rather than one and it won't let me move them. Any way I can sort this? I have tried deleting the text boxes and making new ones but this doesn't work either!

Thanks,
Michelle

RE: Inserting text into PowerPoint

Hello Michelle

Thank you for your question.

It might have something to do with the formatting on the text you are copying and pasting into the PowerPoint slide.

You might want to try something like copying and pasting the text into something like Notepad which should remove any formatting; then paste the text into Ppt from Notepad and see if this works out for you.


Kind regards
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

Make your PowerPoint presentation smaller

Choose "File", "Properties" and turn off "Save preview picture".

This also speeds up saving the file, as Powerpoint does not have to create the little image preview.
