Missing bullets and numbers

[djezg3375]

Please HELP, Please HELP, I am a net admin going nuts because of PowerPoint
2007. I have ten laptops that are all the same make model and configuration.
Eight of the ten are working just fine with MS Office 2007 and power point.
All of them are fresh installs of OS and MS office 2007. The problem I am
having is pertaining to the two rebel laptops that don’t want to act right. I
have installed the latest MS updates, uninstalled, reinstalled, ran the file
converter, and added all the features to the local laptop for Office 2007
pro. When the users bring up PP and select the drop down for the bullets and
numbers they get the following image. The menu image pops up with no bullets
or numbers, even if I customize them.



This issue seems to have transferred it self into formatting while
creaating new and opening old documents. Is there anyone out there
experiencing this issue? If so how did you resolve it. The bullets and
numbers show up fine in word. This only happens in PP. I would like to get
this resolved before distributing to the rest of my management team and
sales group.

Thanks Greg

P.S. I’m not sure if the image will show.

Hi Greg,

images do not show in this newsgroup. Did you install a standard printer
driver on all of those laptops? PowerPoint sometimes shows weird font
problems, if no printer is installed. (The printer need not be connected.)

Best regards,
Ute

Hello Simon, yes. Both of the machines have a network printer installed and
the drivers are loaded. That is weird because they are all configured the
same way. Now are you saying that I need to add a local attached printer to
make this work? if so I will give it a try. Do you have a way I can send you
a screen shot of the view I am getting?

Thanks for you reply.

Sorry to say my friends,but that did not resolve my issue. I added the
drivers for a Hp 8100, 1100 and a 4500c, which are the basic printers that we
use around here this issue is the same. If a screen shot would better explain
my delima i can forward it to you if you reply to (e-mail address removed).
Any assitance would be great. I have tried most of the usal suspects. I'm
about to go bald on this one, can you feel my pain?

Thanks for the link.

I took a look, and at first, it seems a video driver issue. Do update to the
latest driver from the video card manufacturer's (ATi, Nvidia, Other) site.
Make sure your DirectX is updated.

Also, another thought: what happens when you actually choose another bullet
style (even if you really canot make out what you are choosing)? Does it
look OK on the slides?
