I am a Univ. Professor. I have dozens of Power Point lectures all done on Power Point 2004. When I "upgraded" from Office 2004 to 2008 for Mac most of my progressive title slides showed up with a ghost image. This ruins the progressive aspect of a title slide. Some slides were corrected by removing the shadow feature. But, not all. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this annoying occurrence. I am ready to kiss off on office 2008 and return to 2004. I have contacted many "experts" all of which are at a loss. I can't possibly be the only one having this problem. Help!

I've had this problem as well. The only fix I have found is to cut the entire text box out, paste it into word, delete the remaining text box and create a new one, then paste the text back in. It is a very tedious process, but it works and "unsticks" the shadow control.

Actually a quicker way to do this is to click on the text box itself and then click the shadow control off. This should fix the ghosting.
