Control change size when I save presentation (2002)

Topic

New Reply

I have a PowerPoint presentations with a lot of control buttons, textboxes and VB, which was working fine, with some excellent help from loungers.

Tonight I saved the Presentation and when I reopen it SOME of the Command buttons, Textboxes and autoshapes have changed size, colour or other properties. I have twice corrected the changes, but each time I re-open different changes appear. Can anyone explain this?

Is there a limit to the number of controls in a presentation?

Presentation too large to attach.

I think I solved this bizarre problem. (Single slide attached to see what sort of corruption was happening.)

Try this:

Start a new presentation.
Choose a simple layout.
Add a control e.g. command button.
Open Properties box. Notice that the Layout has changed (???).
Next Copy the control and paste the copy into the slide. (Layout changes again (???).

What fun!

Solution appears to be, I
