Powerpoint 2007 -- 2nd character overlaps first in textbox

Hello,

I am having an odd problem. In textboxes, when I type out some characters,
the 2nd character of the word is imprinted right on top of it. For instance,
if I type "Ecommerce" -- the "E" and "c" overlap. However, if I type
"ecommerce" (lower case "e"), I do not have this problem. It's not an issue
with capitilization, because I can type the word "Home" and it displays fine.

If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know. I have tried tweaking
character and paragraph settings, however I may be missing something, I
suppose. However, intuitively, that wouldn't explain to me the lower- versus
upper-case "E" anomoly.

Further investigation reveals that this problem has nothing to do with being
the 1st and 2nd characters. Anywhere in the textbox, this problem can exist.
I have also started a "new presentation" where this problem does not ocurr.

It would, however, be quite nice if this problem could be resolved in it's
current context (presentation). I have about 20 different layouts in this
presention, with custom backgrounds, images, and icons. Importing will not
not be quite easy.

I am going to try and "reuse" these slides in the new presentation to see if
the problem resolves itself. And, no that note, is there a way to do a
simply "copy/paste" from presentation to presentation? I miss being able to
do that in slide sorter view. I can only seem to have one presentation
'active' at a time, and I am also unable to find a way to keep "source
formatting" (which I need for these layouts) when pasting. So, if anyone has
some guidance there, that too would be appreciated.
 
An additional restart of Powerpoint seems to have resolved the problem. Very
odd, indeed.

Gremlins feed on electricity.

When you turn off the electricity, they either go looking for greener pixels or
starve, weaken and die.

Good, that you could solve your problem yourself. Problems like this
sometimes occur when no standard printer is installed. So please make sure,
that you have a printer driver installed (the printer does not have to be
connected).

Best regards,
Ute
