Aligning text

I am copying and pasting text from a PDF into PPT.
In PPT, when I have a bullet with two lines of text, the bottom line of text
does not align with the top line.
It is one space to the left. If I use the middle hanging indent mark on the
ruler to move the bottom line to the right one space, the top line moves also
and I must then place the cursor in front of the top line and delete a space.
This is 3 extra key strokes for almost every bullet.
I have tried everything I know to do. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
There may be a way around it using code, but as far as manually, it is what
it is. Seems there's an extra space in there you're picking up from the PDF
when you copy. I don't think there's anything you can do about that other
than what you're doing.

You could try pasting into Notepad and then into PPT.
 
Thanks, Echo. Appreciate your time.
