PPT 2008 tool issues

[ashleye]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Some questions about the new 2008 PPT for Mac:

- where is format/line spacing tool? none of the other spacing options I could find provide the level of control of the previous tool except the paragraph formatting panel and then you have to use points
- When you paste a text item copied from another diagram you are working on, PPT doesn't retain the same font size and copies to the juction of the grid lines (cmd g) instead of adjacent to the original copied item like it did in 2004.
- where is the close button to exit the "edit master" view that returned you to the current slide your were in?

For reasons only Microsoft knows, they eliminated the ability to right
your mouse and have the appropriate context sensitive tools appear...
To add to the confusion, they have relocated & and some cases renamed
key editing functions so that you have to go down several levels to
find them... So bottom line with Office 2008, it hunt, hunt, hunt and
after much wasted time you find a simple editing command... Whoever
the designers were, they failed to think of their existing customer
base...

I would go back to 2004 Power Point, except that it constantly crashed
& froze and so far this has been fairly stable...
