Odd printing problem on title slide

I have a master slide defined as well as a title master for my title
page. My title page looks fine onscreen, in print preview mode, as
well as when you view the slide presentation. I have 3 text boxes
that contain centered, relatively unformatted text (except for font,
color, & point size). One of the textboxes is at the top of the
slide, the second is in the right/middle (vertically) and the third is
at the bottom of the slide.

However, when I print the presentation (to 3 different printers), the
title page comes out with bulleted text in the textboxes located at
the top and middle of the slide. In no place, either in the master
slide or the title master slide, do I have bullets and numbering
turned on. Anyone seen this behavior before?

Thanks in advance.

I'm betting you used a double-bulleted list layout and created the third
box (which prints correctly) manually with a textbox, right?

Check your slide master again. It's possible you have bullets set which
are the same color as the background, so you won't see them on the
actual color slide.

But if you go to View/Black and White, do you see bullets in the first
two boxes?

Then again, you said it's fine in print preview mode, so I could be way
off base.
 
Not really sure what caused it. The title master was derived from a
"Title and SubTitle Layout" and that seemed to be the key, even though
no bullets were defined in either of those text boxes (title &
subtitle). Once I recreated them as generic text boxes (i.e. not a
pre-defined title & subtitle), everything got better in a hurry.
