vertical text box moves

K

Kyle Taylor

I have encountered the following problem in PowerPoint for Mac v.X and
in previous versions of PowerPoint for Mac such as 2001 and 1998.
Whenever I create slides containing vertical text boxes, the text
boxes inevitably move (in both the x and y directions) after closing
and then reopening the file. Sometimes, this unwanted movement occurs
simply by clicking to another slide and then back to the slide with
vertical text, even without saving and closing the file. This movement
occurs even if I 'Group' the text boxes with other objects or pictures
that do not move upon reopening of the file or reaccessing that
particular slide. The unintended movement of these text boxes
regardless of whether 'Snap To Grid' is active or inactive.

I am eager to hear of any solutions to this problem and welcome any
suggestions!

Sincerely,
KGT

Hi Kyle,

In PPT X I made a blank slide and put a text box onto it. I used the rotate
tool to turn the text 90 degrees to the left. Then I turned on the grid
lines and positioned the box at the intersection of the grid lines to make
it easy to see if it moves.

I saved the presentation and closed it.

When I opened the presentation the text box was right where I left it.

So I could not duplicate the problem.

Are you taking different steps? If so, please post back with the steps that
you have taken.

-Jim
