Bullet problems: not indenting, changing in same template

I have two problems in Powerpoint 2007 I cannot fix:

First, some bullets in a text box in my template indent fine, but others
simply will not indent via tabbing or hitting the intent button or going into
the outline. I' consider myself a "power user" and this is driving me and
others at my company nuts! The slide master has them indented at decreasing
font-sizes and looks normal, but for some reason, on some bullets Powerpoint
refuses to indent them.

Secondly, in this same template, the sub-bullets are set by default to be
square, yet sometimes that square sub-bullet is available as a choice in the
bullet tool, and sometimes, mysteriously it is not available as a
choice--even in the same text box, where squares are used earlier. I go in
to choose Customize and pick it, but then a few lines down the square is not
available again.

Any suggestions for how to address either or both of these problems would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
 
Two thoughts ...

First,
Are you typing into the Title placeholder or the body placeholder?

Second,
Has this template bounced back and forth between 2003 & 2007?
