Shawow text

[Paul]

I am using Powerpoint 97 on Windows 98.

I am editing a presentation created by someone else and
for some reason every time I enter new text the SHADOW
effect is turned on.

Obviously I can highlight the text and undo the shadow
effect but I cannot seem to find a default setting to
prevent this from happening.

Is this when you are entering text in the placeholder (where it says
"click here to add text") or in a regular textbox you place manually on
the slide?

(Thanks for including your version of PPT and Windows!)
