Power Point bullets

[Diane]

I have a PP which contains bulleted points. When adding animation to them
(Custom Animation>Fade>Fast), on some slides some of the bullets are omitted
when the point fades in? Do you know of a way to work around that?

 

[Bill Dilworth]

As you may have guessed, this is not a normal behavior. The bullet point
should fade in with the text.

First, I would try round tripping the presentation thru HTML
1) Save presentation
2) File Save As
change type to HTML
Give it a name and location you will remember
close PowerPoint
3) Navigate to the HTML file
Right Click and open with => PowerPoint
4) Save As =>
change type to Presentation
enter a new name
5) Run the show and see if it fixed the problem

Then I would recommend checking all the updates for office and windows. All
should be current.

Then I would try setting the hardware acceleration back a notch or two.

If none of these do the trick, post back. Come to think of it, post back
either way.

Bill,
Thank you for your help: sadly, none of your suggestions worked. Would it
help to know that all but the first slide work correctly and that I fiddled
around with the first slide before I figured out how to do it correctly?
Also, I deleeted the slide and then re-made it...still the same effect.

This might be easier if I could see it.

Could you send me the first 2 slides of your presentation at the address in
my signature (not my reply to address).
